The Missouri Attorney General’s Office obtained a preliminary injunction against the Biden Administration’s vaccine mandate on federal contractors on Monday, December 20, which halts enforcement of the mandate in Missouri and the other states.

According to a press release, along with Nebraska, Missouri Attorney General Eric Schmitt co-led a 10-state coalition on October 29 in filing suit against the Biden Administration for imposing a vaccine mandate on federal contractors.

Officials say on Monday, December 20,  the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri granted Missouri’s motion for preliminary injunction and halted enforcement of the mandate in Missouri and in the coalition states (Alaska, Arkansas, Iowa, Montana, Nebraska, New Hampshire, North Dakota, South Dakota, and Wyoming).

The Missouri Attorney General’s Office also reported it recently obtained an injunction against the Biden Administration’s health care worker vaccine mandate.
