The December 5th deadline for compliance with President Joe Biden’s vaccine mandate for healthcare facilities receiving federal funds is fast approaching, leaving some healthcare officials worried about the local impact on an already stressed workforce. In September, President Biden announced that, in an effort to curb the spread of COVID-19, his administration would make vaccination against the virus a requirement for facilities who are receiving funds from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. Employees of any facility receiving those funds would have until December 5th to receive their first dose of the vaccination, with full vaccination required by January 5, 2022.
