Federal judge broadens freeze on Biden vax mandate for health care workers

A federal judge in Louisiana issued a preliminary injunction on Nov. 30 to halt the start of President Biden’s national vaccine mandate for health care workers, which had been set to begin next week, the New York Times reports. The injunction effectively expanded a separate order issued on Nov. 29 by a federal court in Missouri. The earlier order had applied only to 10 states that joined in a lawsuit against the president’s mandate for health care workers, the report says.
