Joint Commission no longer evaluating compliance with COVID-19 vaccination requirement

July 6, 2023
Update from The Joint Commission.

The Joint Commission is no longer evaluating compliance with the COVID-19 vaccination requirement.

While the standard will remain present in the current manual, surveyors have been advised not to evaluate for compliance. The database will be updated and be reflected in the next standards release later this year. 

Further questions on how to address evidence of standards compliance may be directed to the organization’s designated account executive.
