Summary

Truck drivers traveling alone in their cabs are exempt from a new interim final rule mandating that employees for large private companies get COVID-19 vaccinations, according to a statement by U.S. Labor Secretary Marty Walsh. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration on Nov. 4 announced the rule mandating that private companies with 100 or more employees ensure that their workers are COVID-19 vaccinated, or if not, are tested at least weekly. The rule is set to take effect Jan. 4. But most truck drivers would fall under a provision stating the possibility that employees who work alone or outside could be exempt.
