As the coronavirus crisis rages on across America, with deaths having reached 427,626 as of the time of this writing, Biglaw firms seem to be employing a wait-and-see strategy when it comes to the vaccination of their workforces. According to CDC guidance, lawyers and legal professionals will be in the next vaccine distribution group, so law firms are quickly losing time to make decisions on their vaccine policies.
