Chicago Judge Temporarily Lifts Vaccine Mandate For Police Union Members

“On Monday, Cook County Judge Raymond Mitchell ruled that Chicago police can skip the Covid-19 vaccination, for now, but that officers do have to report their vaccination status per the city’s current requirement. The order, which appears to only apply to CFO Union members, also prevents the city from disciplining police who are not fully vaccinated or exempt by the year’s end. That said, Mitchell’s order still allows Chicago to place noncompliant officers who refuse to report their vaccination status on no-pay status. What’s more, the Dec. 31 vaccination deadline remains in place for all other city employees, according to Courthouse News.
