COVID Vaccinations Webinar: The Liability Dilemma for Businesses

Description

With several approved COVID vaccinations approved for use by the CDC, businesses are finding themselves in the middle of the debate on whether or not they should require their employees to be vaccinated.

Business owners and leaders are concerned about potential implications surrounding vaccinations, including requiring vaccinations, offering incentives to employees to get vaccinated, vaccine availability, personal beliefs about vaccinations and potential side effects, and risks of spreading COVID if employees are not vaccinated. Sponsored by New Level Advisors, the York County Economic Alliance welcomes a panel of presenters to join in a discussion about the COVID vaccine and potential liability businesses need to be prepared for regarding their requirement for employee vaccination.

Mike Crocenzi, partner with Barley Snyder law firm and Board Member of the York Chapter of the Society of Human Resources Management (SHRM); Dr. Michael Spangler, vice president of Medical Affairs at UPMC Memorial; and Kristen Pittman, North America HRBP at RHI Magnesita and past president of the York Chapter of the Society of Human Resources Management (SHRM); will join moderator Jeff Vermeulen, Assistant Vice President for External Relations at York College of Pennsylvania and vice chair of the York County Economic Alliance Board of Directors, for an hour-long panel discussion and Q&A session with attendees.
