Answer:
Joint Commission recently posted several FAQs you will want to carefully and quickly review. In short, Joint Commission surveyors will begin surveying for COVID-19 vaccine compliance with the CMS COVID–19 Health Care Staff Vaccination interim final rule on Jan 27th. Joint Commission states that:
Organizations are compliant if, by Jan. 27, they have established policies and procedures for ensuring that eligible staff are vaccinated, and all staff have received at least one dose, have a pending request for an exemption, have been granted a qualifying exemption, or have been identified as having a temporary delay as recommended by the CDC.
Organizations are compliant if by Feb. 28, if all staff have completed the vaccination series (one dose of Johnson & Johnson or two doses of Pfizer or Moderna), have been granted an exemption, or have been identified as having a temporary delay as recommended by the CDC.
