Working in the ‘vaccinated economy’
This podcast was recorded on 14 September 2020.
As COVID-19 outbreaks continue to occur, and vaccination rates increase, there is a need for all organisations to consider vaccination and testing as part of the COVID-19 risk mitigation measures to be implemented, and to consider the potential consequences of implementing these measures. The phrase “the vaccinated economy” is being used in the media to describe the impact of vaccination status and rates on economic participation and activity. While there are currently vast differences in the types of measures that organisations need to implement to mitigate the COVID-19 risks, as the likelihood of transmission differs so much depending on the nature of work activities and geography, many of these differences are likely to dissipate in the future, perhaps in late 2021, as vaccination rates reach 70% – 80%. It is important for all businesses to be considering how they will fulfil their functions and activities, keeping their workforce safe, when vaccination rates are 70%-80% and restrictions ease.
Our panel of experts talks through the health and safety, employment and privacy law issues.
