News of effective COVID vaccines was greeted with joy and relief, and the immunisation roll-out is gathering steam. However, we have quickly moved from that euphoria into a new phase, of arguments about the vaccine: groups like front-line police and teachers are clamouring to be prioritised; the EU is demanding that AstraZeneca fulfil its contractual obligations as to supply; and this article points out that employers (including prospective employers) who ask the apparently innocuous question "Have you had your jab?" could be opening themselves up to significant legal risks.
