Biden Administration Announces Details of Two Major Vaccination Policies -- FACT SHEET
- January 4, 2022. This is a change for federal contractors – the Administration is aligning all mandates to begin implementation on January 4, 2022. In our letter to the White House, ACEC had previously requested a pause in its implementation of E.O. 14042 and to provide federal contractors with additional flexibility. We continue to recognize the importance of vaccinations but have heard from many of our member firms that these mandates are proving very challenging to navigate, and we are pleased to see they are responding to our calls for flexibility.
- The full text of the pre-published rule can be found here.
- Extensive FAQ’s can be found here.
