On December 21, 2021, the Commissioner of Health of the City of Chicago signed Order No. 2021-2. The order extends the OSHA ETS vaccine mandate to Chicago employers of all sizes. As background, the federal requirement only applies to private employers with 100 or more employees. This means that employers with Chicago employees reporting to a worksite will be required to implement a vaccine mandate for those employees with the option to opt-out and choose weekly testing instead. Absent further court action, employees will be required to be fully vaccinated or test negative effective February 9, 2022. Additionally, employers will need to adopt and distribute a written policy by January 10, 2022.
