With the new year now fully underway, the Century City Bar Association is excitedly looking forward and hoping for a sooner-than-later return to our usual in-person networking events and continuing education series. In the meantime, as most of us continue working entirely remotely and observe distancing protocols, the Century City Bar Association is planning a robust slate of virtual speakers, MCLE offerings, and networking opportunities to engage our membership and keep us connected.

While early results suggest that both the Pfizer and Moderna COVID-19 vaccines are safe and highly effective in preventing COVID-19 illness,  employers looking to a vaccine as a way to keep their workforce and customers safe may face an uphill battle. According to a survey conducted by the Centers for Disease Control in December 2020 , around 32% of U.S. adults do not intend to take a COVID-19 vaccine. 
Subject to some exceptions, primarily objections based on medical or religious grounds (employees objecting based on a generalized “antivax” stance, or distrust about a certain vaccine, would be on shakier ground), employers generally may implement mandatory vaccination programs. And such vaccination programs have long been common in the healthcare field with respect to illnesses like measles and the flu.
