On January 21, 2022, a nationwide preliminary injunction was issued
against the enforcement of Executive Order 14043, which imposed a
COVID-19 vaccination requirement for federal employees in the
Executive Branch. The preliminary injunction, like the executive
order at issue, does not apply to the Commission and may be
supplemented, modified, or vacated, depending on the course of
ongoing litigation. However, the Commission has suspended
enforcement of the COVID-19 vaccination requirement for current and
new employees, set forth in the Commission's COVID-19 Vaccination
Protocol, pending the outcome of such litigation. To ensure a safe
workplace, the remaining requirements of this protocol remain in
effect, including the proof-of-vaccination requirement,
requirements for employees who are not fully vaccinated against
COVID-19 or who do not provide proof thereof, and requirements for
employees testing positive for COVID-19.
