LeadingAge National continues to update the FAQs daily.  Among other questions it includes updated guidance from the EEOC on what employers need to know about COVID-19 vaccines and the Americans with Disabilities Act.  Although it lays out what providers need to follow if they institute a mandatory vaccination program, it did not answer the ultimate question of whether employers can mandate vaccines under the EUA provisions.  From what we are hearing from members, most providers plan to initiate a voluntary program because of all the requirements a mandatory program may entail as well as the workforce challenges and fears surrounding the vaccines.
