Ep 116: US Supreme Court Weighs in on Vaccine Mandates

In this episode, Chase Cannon and Suzanne Spradley break down the recent Supreme Court decision relating to the vaccine mandates for large employers and healthcare workers. Chase starts by outlining the large employer vaccine mandate, including the OSHA emergency temporary standard, or ETS rule, that was challenged in the courts. Next, Chase and Suzanne discuss the Supreme Court’s decision to halt enforcement of the OSHA ETS — what the ruling means from a legal and practical viewpoint and how state law could come into play. While the decision appears to be the end of the road for the OSHA ETS, Chase closes things out by discussing the CMS healthcare worker vaccine mandate (held valid by the Supreme Court) and the vaccine mandate for government contractors (held up in federal courts).
