Time is running out for health care workers at facilities that participate in Medicare and Medicaid to be fully vaccinated.
Despite blocking President Joe Biden’s vaccine mandate for private employers, the Supreme Court ruled in favor of the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) vaccine mandate, which affects 10.4 million health care workers at 76,000 medical facilities. Feb. 28 is the deadline to receive your second dose or to receive an approved medical or religious exemption. Unlike the proposed private employer mandate, the CMS mandate doesn’t allow testing options in lieu of vaccination.
