 Last week, Gov. Phil Murphy announced a new universal vaccination mandate for workers in healthcare settings like hospitals and nursing homes and high-risk congregate locations like prisons that will go into effect over the next two months. The executive order will require all such workers to receive a booster shot in addition to being fully vaccinated.
 Last week, New Jersey Governor Murphy issued executive orders extending the state Public Health Emergency under the pandemic. This came the day after his request for a legislative signoff on the move was rejected by senior members of his own party. Murphy yesterday had said that he would extend the orders and took the step just hours before giving his annual State of the State address and a pending 11:59 PM deadline which was the first of his second term.

The HCAOA New Jersey State Chapter will hold a virtual meeting on Wednesday, December 1 from 12:30 – 1:30 p.m. to discuss the Chapter's strategic plan for 2022, including announcement of the first in-person meeting in two years.
 The HCAOA New Jersey State Chapter will hold a virtual meeting on Wednesday, September 22 from 12:30 – 2:00 p.m. The meeting agenda includes federal and legislative updates, as well as COVID-19 information regarding vaccine mandates and the OSHA Emergency Temporary Standard.  Several states have recently announced COVID-19 vaccine mandates for health care workers, and HCAOA and state chapters are working with state officials to clarify how these mandates impact home care. For example, mandates in Washington, California, and New York do not include home care in some settings, while the order in New Jersey does include home care.  Governor Murphy issued Executive Order (“EO”) No. 252, which requires employees working in certain “covered settings” to be vaccinated or be tested for COVID-19 “at minimum one to two times weekly.” The EO lists two classes of covered settings: Health Care Facilities and High-Risk Congregate Settings. Registered Health Care Service Firms (HCSF) are included in the definition of “Health Care Facilities” and therefore these mandates apply to all HCSFs and their caregivers, nurses and internal staff. The terms of the EO go into effect on September 7, 2021.
 HCAOA’s state chapters continue to monitor states’ legislative and regulatory actions. Here’s a quick listing of the most recent home care happenings around the country. |
