However, it did leave in place a vaccination requirement for health care workers. “It’s now up to the states and individual employers to put in place vaccination requirements,” said White House press secretary Jen Psaki on Friday. The Supreme Court decision has “taken a little bit of a burden of worry off of our shoulders,” said Kyle Caraway, marketing director at Doolittle Trailer Manufacturing, which joined a lawsuit by the Missouri attorney general challenging Biden’s policy. “The Court has ruled that my administration cannot use the authority granted to it by Congress to require this measure," Biden said.
