A member would like to know if anyone is requiring vaccines for police academy entrants?  Regardless of whether you are or not, does anyone see any constitutional or statutory issues with doing so, so long as the member offers reasonable accommodations under the ADA and Title VII for any disabilities / sincerely held religious beliefs respectively?  Feel free to respond on list or to me directly at akarras@imla.orgmailto:akarras@imla.org and I'll forward on your response.

Thanks,

Amanda
