EXECUTIVE ORDER ON MOVING BEYOND COVID-⁠19 VACCINATION REQUIREMENTS FOR
FEDERAL WORKERS

 1. Home
 2. Briefing Room
 3. Presidential Actions

     By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws
of the United States of America, it is hereby ordered as follows:

     Section 1.  Policy.  In 2021, based on the best available data and guidance
from our public health experts, I issued Executive Order 14043 of September 9,
2021 (Requiring Coronavirus Disease 2019 Vaccination for Federal Employees), to
direct executive departments and agencies (agencies) to require coronavirus
disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccination for their employees, and Executive Order
14042 of September 9, 2021 (Ensuring Adequate COVID Safety Protocols for Federal
Contractors), to ensure that Federal contractors and subcontractors have
adequate COVID-19 safety protocols.  I issued those orders at a time when the
highly contagious B.1.617.2 (Delta) variant was the predominant variant of the
virus in the United States and had led to a rapid rise in cases and
hospitalizations.  Those orders were necessary to protect the health and safety
of critical workforces serving the American people and to advance the efficiency
of Government services during the COVID-19 pandemic.  Following issuance of
those orders, my Administration successfully implemented a vaccination
requirement for the Federal Government, the largest employer in the Nation,
achieving a 98 percent compliance rate (reflecting employees who had received at
least one dose of the COVID-19 vaccine or had a pending or approved exemption or
extension request) by January 2022.  More broadly, my Administration has
effectively implemented the largest adult vaccination program in the history of
the United States, with over 270 million Americans receiving at least one dose
of the COVID-19 vaccine.

     Following this important work, along with continued critical investments in
tests and therapeutics that are protecting against hospitalization and death, we
are no longer in the acute phase of the COVID-19 pandemic, and my Administration
has begun the process of ending COVID-19 emergency declarations.  Our public
health experts have issued guidance that allows individuals to understand
mitigation measures to protect themselves and those around them.  Our healthcare
system and public health resources throughout the country are now better able to
respond to any potential surge of COVID-19 cases without significantly affecting
access to resources or care.  Since September 2021, COVID-19 deaths have
declined by 93 percent, and new COVID-19 hospitalizations have declined by 86
percent.  Considering this progress, and based on the latest guidance from our
public health experts, we no longer need a Government-wide vaccination
requirement for Federal employees or federally specified safety protocols for
Federal contractors.  Vaccination remains an important tool to protect
individuals from serious illness, but we are now able to move beyond these
Federal requirements.

     Sec. 2.  Revocation of Vaccination Requirements.  Executive Order 14042 and
Executive Order 14043 are revoked.  Agency policies adopted to implement
Executive Order 14042 or Executive Order 14043, to the extent such policies are
premised on those orders, no longer may be enforced and shall be rescinded
consistent with applicable law.

     Sec. 3.  Effective Date.  This order is effective at 12:01 a.m. eastern
daylight time on May 12, 2023.

     Sec. 4.  General Provisions.  (a)  Nothing in this order shall be construed
to impair or otherwise affect:

               (i)   the authority granted by law to an executive department or
agency, or the head thereof; or

               (ii)  the functions of the Director of the Office of Management
and Budget relating to budgetary, administrative, or legislative proposals.

          (b)  This order shall be implemented consistent with applicable law
and subject to the availability of appropriations.

          (c)  This order is not intended to, and does not, create any right or
benefit, substantive or procedural, enforceable at law or in equity by any party
against the United States, its departments, agencies, or entities, its officers,
employees, or agents, or any other person.

                      
       JOSEPH R. BIDEN JR.


THE WHITE HOUSE,
    May 9, 2023.
