New Jersey mandates booster shots for healthcare workers

New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy revealed an executive order Wednesday mandating all workers in healthcare and high-risk congregate living facilities be up to date on their COVID-19 vaccines.

The Democrat said there will be no “test out” option for the workers, noting that option was already set to end for healthcare workers due to the Supreme Court ruling upholding a federal vaccine mandate for healthcare workers. Workers who do not comply with the mandate could be terminated, the governor said.
