Staff Vaccination Mandate Still in Effect

Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services end of the Public Health Emergency on May 1 MEMO QSO-23-13-ALL indicated the agency would soon end the requirement. Although the CMS memo expressed an intent to share details at the anticipated end date, the Omnibus COVID-19 Health Care Staff Vaccination final rule is still “pending review,” according to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) regulations dashboard.

LeadingAge continues to monitor developments and will report as soon as the rule leaves OMB.
