The mandate would affect 80 million employees in the U.S.
January 07, 2022 at 6:33 am PSTThe U.S. Supreme Court on Friday will hear arguments over whether the Biden administration can require large employers and health care workers to either be vaccinated against COVID-19 or be required to have regular tests to detect the virus.The court is hearing both cases on an emergency basis, and scheduled arguments rather than ruling on briefs submitted by the parties.
The justices will be considering two issues. The first is whether an emergency rule adopted by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration that requires workers at businesses with 100 or more employees to be vaccinated or to be tested weekly is legal. The second question is whether the administration can require health care workers to be vaccinated. The mandate would cover health care providers who work at facilities that receive federal Medicare or Medicaid funding. The rule would affect around 76,000 health care facilities and home health care providers.
