Supreme Court of the United States

Biden v. Missouri

January 13, 2022595 U.S. 87

Summary

The Supreme Court granted the Government's applications for stays, holding that the Secretary of Health and Human Services acted within statutory authority in imposing a COVID‑19 vaccine mandate on Medicare and Medicaid providers, that the interim rule was not arbitrary and capricious, and that the good‑cause exception justified bypassing notice‑and‑comment. Accordingly, the preliminary injunctions issued by the district courts were stayed pending appeal.
