Vaccination Round-Up – June 10, 2022
June 10, 2022
VACCINES IN THE WORKPLACE – WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW THIS WEEK
With BC exceeding its vaccination targets, regulations lifting and the reintegration of employees to the workplace, employers are now faced with trying to navigate the changing dynamic of vaccines and the workplace. We anticipate that changes to legislation could happen on short notice and have created this Round-Up to help employers stay informed in a situation that is so rapidly evolving.
Here are a few important things I thought worth sharing this week:
