The decision by the Supreme Court <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2022/01/13/us/politics/supreme-court-biden-vaccine-mandate.html?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=municipalities-implement-vaccine-mandates-after-supreme-court-blocks-federal-mandate-2717763" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">blocks this mandate</a>.“The [Department of Labor] Secretary has ordered 84 million Americans to either obtain a COVID-19 vaccine or undergo weekly medical testing at their own expense,” the Court wrote. “This is no ‘everyday exercise of federal power.’ It is instead a significant encroachment into the lives – and health – of a vast number of employees.”Although there is not a federal vaccine mandate, employers of private companies can require vaccination for its employees by their own doing.
