Workers who are charged with verifying that health care facilities are complying with the Biden administration’s COVID-19 vaccine mandate don’t have to be vaccinated themselves, the government has said.
The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), which imposed the mandate, said in January memorandum that workers who have not received a vaccine “should not participate” in surveys of the health care facilities. The surveys include checking whether the facilities are obeying the mandate.
