WASHINGTON – The U.S. Supreme Court has blocked enforcement of the OSHA Emergency Temporary Standard mandating vaccines and testing by large businesses, but it has upheld enforcement of CMS’s interim final rule mandating it for certain covered health care providers. CMS’s IFR doesn’t apply to HME providers, but if they have employees working on behalf of a covered provider, they must comply with the mandate. Previously, a lower court had narrowed the scope of an injunction blocking CMS’s IFR. For additional analysis by VGM, go here.
