The 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals grants an emergency stay of the requirement by OSHA that companies with 100 or more employees require vaccinations by Jan. 4.

Gov. Ron DeSantis says Florida also will challenge a vaccine mandate that will apply to health care facilities, such as hospitals and nursing homes, that participate in Medicare and Medicaid.

Dozens of Republican state officials are suing over the White House's COVID-19 vaccine mandate that they say is unconstitutional and threatens business.

The motion is part of a lawsuit that the state filed last week challenging vaccination requirements for federal contractors.

Said Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis: “We want to make sure we're protecting people's jobs, protecting people's livelihoods. Tossing people aside is just not something that we can tolerate.”

Gov. Ron DeSantis says he will call state lawmakers back to work early to pass legislation to combat coronavirus vaccine mandates enacted by businesses.

COVID-19 has highlighted how older Americans are cared for, the special vulnerabilities they face and the challenges families have to confront when making caregiving decisions.

President Biden has ordered more than 17 million health care workers to get a COVID-19 vaccine. Some health care employers fear losing large numbers of workers who don't want the shots.

The Labor Department is launching a program to protect outdoor workers, including agricultural, construction and delivery workers, as well as those working indoors in warehouses, factories and kitchens.

With efforts to vaccinate the world's poorest countries lagging, President Biden plans a virtual summit alongside the United Nations General Assembly to set new goals in the pandemic fight.
