In mid-February , one of our personal fav’s, The EPOCH Times published an article entitled “Biden Admin’s Covid-19 Vaccine Mandate Goes Into Effect for Most Healthcare Workers” by Jack Phillips. The article states, “Workers in 24 states have to receive one mRNA vaccine dose or the single-shot Johnson & Johnson vaccine by Monday, Feb. 14, amid court challenges, whereas workers in about half of all states had to comply and receive their first dose by Jan. 27, 2022. Health care staff who got their first shot on Jan. 27 will have to receive their second shot—if applicable— by Feb. 28. And workers who had to get their first shot on Feb. 14 have until March 15 to get the second one under CMS the mandate”.
According to the article, “Workers in Texas have to receive their first dose, if applicable, by next week on Feb. 21 and their second dose by March 21, according to the document”.
