On December 20, 2020, I published the Coates Canons blog post May a Public Employer Require Vaccination Against COVID-19? Toward the end of the post, I outlined the priority phases of North Carolina’s COVID-19 vaccination plan, highlighting where public employees likely fell. Subsequently, the North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services revised its vaccine prioritization plan to more closely align with new recommendations from the CDC published on December 22, 2020. I have now updated the original blog post to incorporate the new priority plan.
