This CLE webinar will guide healthcare counsel on the evolving landscape of vaccine mandates. The panel will address the enforceability of the current vaccine mandates and the related litigation. The panel will discuss the requirements under federal law and some state and local laws. The panel will offer best practices for healthcare entities in implementing and enforcing policies for compliance with all applicable laws.

Description

The U.S. Supreme Court left in place New York's requirement that healthcare workers be vaccinated against COVID-19 in Dr. A v. Hochul (U.S. Dec. 13, 2021). Twenty healthcare providers sought an exemption from the requirement based on religious grounds. This decision followed a similar rejection in a Maine case in October 2021.

The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit ordered that the Biden administration's vaccine mandate for healthcare workers resume in several states while an appeal continued forward. The court rejected the administration's request for a stay on a preliminary injunction as to the 14 states that challenged the mandate. However, the court granted a stay on the injunction in the remaining states to which it applied in Louisiana v. Becerra (5th Cir. Dec. 15, 2021).

While the federal mandate is challenged in court, some state and local governments have implemented their own mandates. Healthcare providers need to be aware of the laws that apply and prepare to meet the requirements in an evolving landscape.

Listen as our authoritative panel of healthcare attorneys examines the vaccine mandates as they apply to healthcare providers. The panel will address the enforceability of the current vaccine mandates and the related litigation. The panel will discuss the requirements under federal law and some state or local laws. The panel will offer best practices for healthcare entities in implementing and enforcing policies for compliance with all applicable laws.
