HHS Mandates COVID Vaccine for Employees

The Department of Health and Human Services plans to mandate coronavirus vaccines for more than 25,000 of its frontline health workers, the third federal agency – after the Departments Of Defense and Veterans Affairs – to do so amid a resurgence of the virus and a stubborn reluctance among some Americans to get the shots.

Secretary Xavier Becerra announced Thursday that workers at the National Institutes of Health and Indian Health Service who treat or come in contact with patients will be required to take the vaccines.

Surgeon General Vivek Murthy will also require coronavirus shots for members of the Public Health Service Commissioned Corps, which aims to promote public health and provide health care to underserved communities.

Unlike President Joe Biden’s announcement last month ordering federal workers to attest to their vaccination status or submit to regular coronavirus testing, workers covered by the HHS order will be required to get vaccinated. (Read more from “HHS Mandates COVID Vaccine for Employees” HERE)
