The Biden-Harris Administration is requiring COVID-19 vaccination of eligible staff at health care facilities that participate in the Medicare and Medicaid programs. The emergency regulation issued by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) today protects those fighting this virus on the front lines while also delivering assurances to individuals and their families that they will be protected when seeking care.

I work in IS at a local community hospital, my boss dropped this shit on me today after Sr. Mgt informed us 2 weeks ago that effective Nov. 1 we would have to return to the office no exceptions and yesterday's meeting informing us that NO IS worker is 100% remote, period (yup that's a CMS exemption you guessed it). Guess I'll go the religious exemption while I reluctantly look for a new gig that is not requiring the jab, as this is really, really looking like "The Mark" from my perspective.
