Supreme Court Blocks Vaccine Testing Mandate

The Supreme Court on Thursday blocked the Biden Administration’s COVID-19 requirement that employers of 100+ employees require vaccination or weekly testing, while allowing a vaccine mandate for healthcare workers at facilities that participate in Medicaid and Medicare. The Court’s decision caps off months of legal challenges to the Administration’s efforts to increase vaccination rates in the workplace. The Biden Administration’s federal contractor vaccine mandate continues to be in a stay following December’s ruling by a federal court.
AHLA will continue to provide updated information as it becomes available. We continue to strongly urge every eligible individual to get vaccinated, so travel can continue to resume safely, and we can keep moving towards recovery.
