The CMS Rule requires the staff of twenty-one types of Medicare and Medicaid healthcare providers to receive one vaccine by December 6, 2021, and the second vaccine by January 4, 2022.

Does your private business have more than 99 employees? Take this quick vax-or-test poll.
Over the weekend, a colleague asked a few of us how (if?) most private employers with more than 99 employees are prepping their workplaces for the OSHA vaccine-or-test mandate in light of its uncertain fate at the Sixth Circuit — especially after the beatdown that OSHA took at the Fifth Circuit.
