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.
