Federal Court Blocks Biden's COVID-19 Vaccine Mandate for US Government Workers

A federal appeals court has blocked President Biden's COVID-19 vaccine mandate for federal employees, upholding a preliminary injunction issued by a federal judge in January 2022. The court rejected the government's argument that courts don't have jurisdiction over pre-enforcement challenges to the mandate. The case will now proceed in district court. The mandate required all federal employees to get vaccinated against COVID-19 or face disciplinary action, including termination, with limited exceptions for religious and medical reasons. Opponents of the mandate say those that requested exemptions faced hostile work environments and negative career impacts.

US Appeals Court Reverses Federal Employee COVID-19 Vaccine Mandate

A federal appeals court has upheld a lower court decision to block the Biden administration's COVID-19 vaccine mandate for federal employees, reversing a previous ruling from a smaller panel of judges. The court ruled that a preliminary nationwide injunction on the vaccine mandate should remain in place while the case proceeds, as the case falls outside the purview of the Civil Service Reform Act. The Biden administration first issued the vaccine mandate in September 2021, ordering all federal employees to get vaccinated or face disciplinary actions, including termination.

US Federal Appeals Court Halts Biden's Vaccine Mandate for Government Employees

The 5th US Circuit Court of Appeals in New Orleans has blocked President Joe Biden's order that federal employees get vaccinated against COVID-19. The ruling maintains the status quo for federal employee vaccines, upholding a preliminary injunction blocking the mandate issued by a federal judge in January 2022. The court rejected the Biden administration's argument that they have the same rights as a private corporation to mandate vaccines. The case will return to that court for further arguments, when "both sides will have to grapple with the White House's announcement that the COVID emergency will finally end on May 11, 2023."

US Court Blocks Biden's Vaccine Mandate for Federal Workers

A federal appeals court in New Orleans has blocked President Joe Biden's order that federal employees get vaccinated against COVID-19, rejecting arguments that Biden has the same authority as the CEO of a private corporation to require that employees be vaccinated. The ruling maintains the status quo for federal employee vaccines and upholds a preliminary injunction blocking the mandate issued by a federal judge in January 2022. The case will return to that court for further arguments, when both sides will have to grapple with the White House's announcement that the COVID emergency will finally end on May 11, 2023.

Massachusetts Governor Healey Ends COVID-19 Public Health Emergency and Vaccine Mandate.

Governor Maura Healey of Massachusetts plans to lift the state's modified COVID-19 public health emergency on May 11, in alignment with the end of the federal public health emergency. She also plans to rescind a vaccine mandate for tens of thousands of executive branch workers, which had been controversial and prompted a legal fight with the State Police Association of Massachusetts. However, some public workers in certain roles and settings will remain subject to a COVID-19 vaccine mandate due to regulations from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services and the Executive Office of Health and Human Services.
