The injunction affects the states behind the lawsuit: Alaska, Arkansas, Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska, New Hampshire, North Dakota, South Dakota and Wyoming.

There are 3 Federal mandates at play to require the vax: (1) through OSHA (employers with 100 ppl or more) which is currently halted. (2) through CMS which is the one that this 10 state ruling applies, and (3) Federal govt employee (and contractors) mandate (where the deadline for the jab was recently extended).

And then there is when individual, private employers choose to create a vax mandate as a policy. Some private employers are allowing medical and religious exemptions (often based on what the states allow- for example, NY doesn't allow religious exemptions).
