About the Program
Confused about when and how to get a COVID-19 vaccine? This program examines the rollout of vaccines and the issues of supply and demand as millions in Pennsylvania become eligible in the first phase of distribution. We explore the impact on seniors, communities of color, schools and the workplace.
The entire program can be found here. Dave appears at approximately minute 43. He discusses COVID-19 vaccines in the workplace. He says company policies mandating vaccine are fine as long they do not violate other employment laws. For example, the policy cannot violate an employee’s rights under the American with Disabilities Act or other religious reasons.
