​CMS Withdraws COVID-19 Vaccine Mandate

​In conjunction with the Biden administration’s declaration that the COVID-19 national public health emergency ended effective May 11, 2023, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) announced it would “soon end” its mandatory vaccination requirement and that additional guidance would be forthcoming. As anticipated, on June 5, the CMS published a final rule providing guidance to healthcare employees about unwinding provisions of its interim final rule, which mandated COVID-19 testing, education, and vaccinations.

The final rule will take effect on August 4, 2023, and address three specific COVID-19 mandates. Click here to learn more from HCAOA partner Littler.
