Missouri Attorney General Eric Schnitt is set to hold a 12:30 p.m. news conference after a federal judge temporarily halted a coronavirus vaccine mandate for health care workers.
The judge's move applies to 10 states, including Missouri, that have sued the federal government over the mandate, which requires vaccination for all workers at facilities that accept Medicare of Medicaid funds.
