On Jan. 6, @David Skorton, MD, hosted a live virtual press briefing to discuss the federal vaccine mandate for health care facilities being considered by the U.S. Supreme Court and what can be done if the court declines to support the current federal government mandate. Several AAMC experts joined the discussion to provide updates on how the nation’s teaching hospitals and health systems are responding to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic amid the omicron variant, the surge in cases and impact on hospital capacity, and the latest science in testing and vaccination guidance.
