The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) issued updated guidance on this issue on December 16, 2020. The Agency’s updated FAQs do not unequivocally state that “employers can require the vaccine.” However, it repeatedly answers questions discussing what actions employers can take in response to various circumstances after an employer has mandated the vaccine. This language plainly suggests there are circumstances where employers may require vaccine immunization of their workers without violating the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), Title VII, and other federal anti-discrimination laws.
