Earlier this month, the Supreme Court issued a ruling that blocked a U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration mandate that private workers at companies with 100 or more employees be fully vaccinated against COVID-19 or submit to a weekly test.
As of Wednesday, the Biden Administration has officially withdrawn the mandate, which was expected to go into effect Jan. 4. Although OSHA is currently prevented from implementing or enforcing a vaccine requirement, a significant amount of companies implemented their own mandates.
Dates of mandate implementation vary. Additionally, some companies have announced plans to review their requirements in light of the Supreme Court ruling, including Ford Motor Company and TJX, the parent company of TJ Maxx and Home Goods.
According to NBC News, the following companies all have some sort of vaccine mandate for employees:
American Express
Amtrak
Anthem
BlackRock
Carhartt
Cisco
Citigroup
Columbia Sportswear
CVS Health
Deloitte
Delta Air Lines
DoorDash
Equinox
Ford
Goldman Sachs
Jefferies
Lyft
McDonald's
Meta
MGM Resorts International
Microsoft
Morgan Stanley
NBCUniversal
Netflix
The New York Times
Saks
Salesforce
TJX
Tyson Food
Uber
Union Square Hospitality Group
United Airlines
ViacomCBS
Walgreens
Walmart
The Walt Disney Company
The Washington Post
Some of the companies listed above have also delayed back-to-office plans due to the omicron variant-fueled surge in COVID-19 cases. Other companies, such as Starbucks, abandoned vaccine mandate plans altogether when the Supreme Court ruling was announced.
Employees at some private companies may not be subject to a vaccine mandate, but a federal mandate is still in place for health care workers.
Justices did not block a mandate for health care providers who receive federal Medicare or Medicaid funding that impacts 10.4 million U.S. workers.
