A Georgia judge ruled to block President Joe Biden’s federal vaccine mandate for all U.S. contractors and subcontractors on Tuesday.
The governors of Georgia, Alabama, Idaho, Kansas, South Carolina, Utah and West Virginia filed the Oct. 29 lawsuit against Biden’s executive order, which “requires all ‘covered contractors’ to be fully vaccinated by Jan. 18, 2022,” a court document reads.

The court ruled that the federal administration cannot implement a vaccine mandate for any U.S. employee under government contract.
Biden’s federal rule previously said businesses with 100 or more employees would need to require a COVID-19 vaccination or a weekly test for COVID-19.
