20.12.18 COVID Vaccine Q&A


Event Details


The EACA will be conducting a live webinar on Friday, December 18, at 1pm ET, 12pm CT, and 10am PT, to discuss all aspects of the recent release of the Pfizer COVID Vaccine.

Our industry has been waiting for more than 9 months for some positive news in hopes we can re-open and return to some sense of normalcy.  Most of that hope has been tied to the development and release of a vaccine to immunize the populus at-large to dampen the incidences of infection by the deadly disease.    A week ago the FDA approved the Pfizer vaccine and nearly 3 million doses have been shipped to more than 600 locations this week.   However, with the approval and release of the Pfizer vaccine it is apparent that there are going to be many questions about what, when and how they should communicate with their employees about the immunization process.   Once events begin to re-open it may be necessary for showfloor workers to provide evidence of a negative test, or that they have been immunized.

To that end we have invited Rob Wilson, President/CEO and Jason Eisenhut, VP Human Resources of Employco USA to join us and engage in a range of discussions on issues that all companies should be mindful of as the vaccine becomes widely available.  And, that’s where the questions begin:

Some probable questions are:

  • When/where do you think the vaccine will be widely distributed?
  • Do you think that local and state government will include immunizations in their safety guidelines along with mask wearing and physical distancing?
  • What guidelines should employers have in mind in relation to discussing the vaccine with their employees?
  • What are the employer’s options if an employee doesn’t want to, or won’t, take the vaccine?
  • Public schools require children to receive vaccines as a condition of enrollment, do you believe that kind of thinking will show up in the world of trade shows?
  • What questions do you hear from employers at present?
  • And, much more

Our Panel:

On Friday, December 18  panel will include:

  • Rob Wilson, President/CEO, Employco USA
  • Jason Eisenhut, VP Human Resources, Employco USA
