Only a third of LMPD report receiving COVID-19 vaccine
Spectrum News: Sharona Hoffman, the Edgar A. Hahn Professor of Law, said that police should feel a greater obligation to be vaccinated against COVID-19, but noted there is no legal obligation for police officers—or most anyone else—to be vaccinated. “There is touching if they are arresting somebody and they’re approaching people to talk to them with car windows down all the time,” said Sharona Hoffman, professor of law and bioethics at Case Western Reserve University School of Law in Ohio. “Because that is a high-contact job, they should feel a sense of responsibility to be vaccinated.”
