Gov. Gianforte Praises Nationwide CMS Vaccine Mandate Injunction

HELENA, Mont. – Governor Greg Gianforte today praised a federal court’s nationwide injunction of President Biden’s COVID-19 vaccine mandate for health care workers:

“Hundreds of Montanans at risk of losing their livelihoods from the president’s unlawful overreach can now breathe a sigh of relief. Not only is the president’s mandate unconstitutional, but it would devastate Montana health care providers already struggling with a long-standing worker shortage,” Gov. Gianforte said. “Discrimination based on vaccination status is illegal in Montana, and we’ll continue to work to protect the rights of Montanans.”
