Vaccine Mandate


FedNewsNet – For contractors, guidance on ever-evolving federal vaccine mandate makes compliance difficult

  • "Federal contractors now have two months to comply for their employees to comply with the president’s recent executive order requiring COVID-19 vaccines. So far, government vendors and other stakeholders have reacted to the federal vaccine mandate in a variety of ways."
