President Joe Biden once promised that COVID-19 vaccines would never become mandatory. Though Biden later broke that vow and issued a federal vaccine mandate for private employers through the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), the statute was blocked at the Supreme Court.
In the aftermath of the ruling, many large corporations — such as Starbucks — have rescinded their vaccine requirements. However, the ruling made no impact on the vaccination policies of other businesses, such as apparel manufacturer Carhartt. The Supreme Court’s decision also has no direct effect on President Biden’s vaccine mandate for federal employees and contractors — or the mandates implemented by local leaders in New York City and other metropolitan areas.
