Inslee says state will follow OSHA’s COVID-19 vaccine mandate
OLYMPIA, Wash. — Gov. Jay Inslee said in a Thursday press conference that Washington will follow OSHA’s criteria for a COVID-19 vaccine mandate, pending current court challenges.
The governor said the state is waiting for judicial decisions but will follow the criteria from OSHA on President Biden’s mandate, except where changes may be necessary to align with Washington state laws.
This comes after OSHA said it is suspending the enforcement of Biden’s new rules following recent court rulings.
