A U.S. appeals court has rejected a challenge by the Biden administration on Nov. 12 and reaffirmed its decision to put on hold President Joe Biden’s order for companies with 100 workers or more to mandate COVID-19 vaccines.
The mandate, issued by the Labor Department’s Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), would require that businesses with 100 employees or more ensure that those workers either be vaccinated against COVID-19 by Jan. 4, 2022, or be tested weekly and wear a mask.
