Referred to the Subcommittee on Disability Assistance and Memorial Affairs.
This bill would require the Secretary of Veterans Affairs to repeal a directive issued in January 2022 that established COVID-19 vaccination requirements for healthcare workers in the Veterans Health Administration. The directive applies to doctors, nurses, and other medical personnel who work in VA hospitals and clinics across the country. The bill would also prevent the VA from issuing any new directive with substantially similar vaccination requirements for its healthcare workforce. No specific funding or implementation timeline is mentioned in the legislation. The bill was introduced in January 2024 by a group of Republican representatives and referred to the House Committee on Veterans' Affairs.
