Last September, ...Joe Biden directed the US Department of Labor's Occupational Safety & Health Administration (OSHA) to draft a vaccine mandate for around 17 million healthcare workers at medical facilities that receive Medicare and Medicaid funding, without an option for workers to submit to regular COVID testing instead.

In January, the US Supreme Court blocked one of the administration's other mandates, which applied to private employers with 100 or more workers, but allowed the health facility mandate to stand.

"Since the implementation of the COVID-19 healthcare worker vaccine rule, hundreds of surveys of hospitals have taken place, and the majority of hospitals are in compliance with the vaccine requirement," a CMS spokesperson said, Becker's Hospital Review reported. "In total, surveyors have made 69 citations of hospitals since the rollout of the requirement, and surveys are still underway. As a reminder, hospitals are one of the 17 provider types included in the rule."

"CMS' goal is to bring healthcare facilities into compliance," the spokesperson continued. "Termination would generally occur only after providing a facility with an opportunity to make corrections and come into compliance"... Subscribe for free to Breaking Christian News here
