CMS and OSHA COVID-19 Vaccination Mandates: Coverage and Requests for Accommodations

In this week’s episode, host Ari Kwiatkowski covers the impact of breaking Supreme Court news regarding the OSHA vaccine mandate. Ari, an avowed SCOTUS nerd, reviews the reasons that the justices struck down the OSHA mandate, while upholding that of the Centers for Medicaid & Medicare Services. With their assessment, the Supreme Court said that OSHA overstepped its authority, veering into the public health arena. Ari reminds employer-listeners that they are still able to enact their own vaccination mandates, and she also explores what’s next for these issues. As Ari points out, the SCOTUS decision is far from the last word! Stay tuned for more updates.
