A vaccine will, hypothetically at least, bring about a return of activities once considered normal — going to large gatherings, having drinks at a crowded bar, working in bustling office spaces.
But, as attorneys for employers and employees alike say they now expect, any new vaccine will also involve its own set of practical problems, especially in workplaces.
Public opinion is sharply divided over the benefits of vaccination for COVID-19. In September, a survey from the Pew Research Center revealed split opinions. According to the results, about 51% of U.S. adults would definitely or probably get the vaccine, whereas 49% would definitely or probably not get it.
