Leading Maine Newspaper Quotes Peter Lowe on Vaccine Mandates
An August 7 article in the Bangor Daily News, “Maine employers can ask their workers to be vaccinated against COVID-19,” quotes partner Peter Lowe on the law governing employer vaccine mandates. Lowe notes that employers have a right to know whether their workforce is vaccinated and support for vaccine mandates in the law goes back more than 115 years. Lowe makes clear, however, “This does not follow an easy playbook,” and that employers should take care in how they approach the issue with their employees, not asking questions that might appear to require the disclosure of confidential information.
