OSSIPEE — Mountain View Community’s administrator says the county nursing home has prepared for the consequences of a U.S. Supreme Court decision allowing the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services to move forward with a vaccine mandate for nursing home staff.

On Jan. 13, the high court ruled that CMS has the authority to impose mandatory vaccines, with some exemptions, on facilities that provide Medicare and Medicaid-funded services like nursing homes. New Hampshire was among states that sued the government over the mandate.
