|Updated:

Monday marked the deadline for the vast majority of unvaccinated health care workers across the country to comply with a federal COVID-19 vaccine mandate and receive their first dose.

The federal Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), in a recent update (pdf) earlier this month, said it is “full speed ahead” with enforcing the mandate, which applies to health care staff who work at facilities or entities that receive Medicare or Medicaid funding.
