United States | Publication | April 2021
This past month, the DFEH issued new guidance regarding COVID-19 vaccine requirements for employees. The key takeaways are:
- An employer may require employees to receive COVID-19 vaccines.
- If an employer requires vaccination for its employees, it must reasonably accommodate those employees with disabilities or sincerely held religious beliefs and practices.
- Employers are not required under the state Fair Employment and Housing Act to reasonably accommodate employees who refuse the vaccine because they do not "trust that the vaccine is safe."
- If an employer itself administers the COVID-19 vaccination to its employees, it may ask the employees for relevant medical information before vaccination.
An employer may require its employees to provide proof of vaccination.
