On January 13, 2022, the United States Supreme Court issued a much-anticipated pair of opinions addressing challenges to two vaccinate mandates: the OSHA vaccine mandate for large, private employers and the CMS vaccine mandate for healthcare facilities.
As expected, more vaccine legal updates keep rolling in each day. On December 15, 2021, the United States District Court for the Northern District of Texas entered an opinion and order blocking enforcement of the CMS healthcare vaccine mandate.
On Tuesday, December 7, 2021, the United States District Court for the Southern District of Georgia issued a nationwide preliminary injunction against the enforcement of the federal contractor vaccine mandate. This now means that all three federal vaccine mandates recently issued per the directive of President Biden have now been blocked nationwide from going into effect.
