The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (“CMS”) recently published an infographic to help Medicare and Medicaid facilities and providers determine if they or some members of their workforce are subject to the Omnibus Health Care Staff Vaccination Interim Final Rule (“Vaccine Rule”).  CMS has also issued FAQs to assist healthcare providers in assessing whether they are subject to the Vaccine Rule and if so, what they must do to comply with it.  The FAQs were most recently updated as of January 20, 2022 and are available here. Medicare- and Medicaid-certified providers and suppliers are encouraged to monitor further compliance guidance from CMS.
