The Supreme Court said it is scheduling oral arguments in the cases challenging the Covid-19 vaccine requirements for large employers and certain health care workers.

- Supreme Court Justices Samuel Alito and Brett Kavanaugh were asked to intervene in lower court disputes over the vaccine mandates.

They have been asked by the Justice Department to reverse appeals court orders against the health care worker requirement, which applies to health care staff at providers that participate in Medicare and Medicaid.

For now, the court is leaving in place the status quo around the requirements.                        The Biden administration has said it will not begin enforcing the employer mandate until January 10, and the government has said it's not implementing the health care worker mandate while the legal challenges play out.

The employer mandate at issue would impact some 80 million workers across the country, while the administration's vaccine requirement for health care workers covers more than 10.3 million people in the United States.
