COVID-19 Vaccines: Screening Employees And Customers

We have seen exciting developments this week as Health Canada authorized the first COVID-19 vaccine for use in Canada. However, the authorization of the COVID-19 vaccine raises a number of new considerations for employers in the context of keeping their workplaces safe.

We previously wrote on guidance for screening employees for COVID-19 in our Back to Work in Saskatchewan: Employee Screening blog. The Office of the Saskatchewan Information and Privacy Commissioner has now released an advisory with additional guidance on screening as it relates to COVID-19 vaccines. Organizations and employers in all jurisdictions may find the guidance helpful as they navigate the challenges to keep workplaces safe.
