Good morning,
For business owners looking to get their employees back to the office, there's light at the end of the pandemic tunnel: A Covid-19 vaccine has been found effective and could be distributed this year.
Pfizer and the German biotech company BioNTech announced Monday that their innovative, mRNA-based vaccine is more than 90 percent effective, according to the initial analysis from phase three testing. It's good news in a week in which the U.S. reported a record 10 million confirmed coronavirus cases; on Tuesday, hospitalizations hit an all-time high of 61,964. Other organizations, including Moderna and AstraZeneca/Oxford University, are also in phase three testing for vaccines that look promising.
There’s still no set timeline for any potential vaccine’s distribution, and much uncertainty remains about just how well these vaccines might work. Still, the news raises two important questions for business owners: Once a vaccine is made widely available to the general public, can you require your employees to get it? And if so, how do you go about it?
