COVID-19 Vaccination and the Workplace – Where Do We Stand?
A Cross-Canada Review

As COVID-19 vaccinations became widely available to Canadians, many employers introduced policies to require employee vaccination. We also saw governments mandate COVID-19 vaccination policies in higher risk workplaces.

Not surprisingly, some unions and individual employees have opposed mandatory vaccination and taken their opposition to courts and arbitrators. The decisions of these adjudicators will determine how employers can apply COVID-19 vaccination policies to protect the health and safety of workers and the public, going forward.

Join us as we discuss:

1. COVID-19 Case Law Update
   • Recent case law on the reasonableness and enforceability of COVID-19 vaccination policies.
   • How have human rights tribunals and commissions responded to COVID-19 complaints?

2. COVID-19 Legislative Update

3. The impact of case law and legislation on an employer’s COVID-19 vaccination policy.
