Vaccine Mandates

As news breaks, FHA will update this page with the latest in federal and state actions.

At this time, the law passed during Florida’s special session is controlling law, and any Florida business that requires vaccination by their employees must offer the enumerated exemptions: medical (including anticipated pregnancy), religious, natural immunity, PPE, or testing. It is important to note that the state law only applies to entities that impose a vaccine mandate on their employees. As you consider continued enforcement of a vaccine mandate you should be sure to note that many of Florida’s required exemptions contradict the CMS rule; should a court reinstate the CMS rule, hospitals will need to reevaluate exemptions that were granted in alignment with the Florida law to ensure federal compliance.
