A new Cook County vaccination mandate is in effect. The chief judge is requiring his employees to get the COVID vaccine, citing surging omicron cases.

Evans cited his vaccine mandate to the recent surge in coronavirus cases linked to the omicron variant.

"Public health experts have determined that unvaccinated individuals are more likely to contract and transmit the virus and to experience more serious symptoms of COVID-19 than those who are vaccinated," Evans said in a statement."This step is being taken to ensure the safest possible workplace for our employees, and to protect employees of our justice partners, court services patrons, residents of the Juvenile Temporary Detention Center, and the general public.

Cook County Chief Judge mandates COVID-19 vaccine for judges, court employeesAll judges and employees who work for the Circuit Court of Cook County will be required to receive either the Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccine or the first dose of the Pfizer or Moderna vaccine by Jan. 17.

He was never about doing his job and prosecuting criminals. How about getting criminals vaccinated!?!? Will the defendants be required to show their vaccination cards upon entry of the courthouses? Will the defendants be required to be fully vaccinated before being released from jail?
