Summary
| Description |
English: The Office for Civil Rights has made clear that during emergencies, such as the COVID-19
pandemic, civil rights laws remain in effect. These laws include Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act and Section 1557 of the Affordable Care Act which, among other things, prohibit discrimination on the basis of disability.1 This guidance sets out legal standards under Section 504 and Section 1557 as well as examples of the application of the legal standards in the context of COVID-19 vaccine programs. Links to best practices to implement these legal standards and additional information about civil rights protections prohibiting discrimination on the basis of race, color, national origin and ensuring the civil rights of persons with limited English Proficiency during COVID-19 are included at the end of this guidance. |
