Amtrak eases COVID vaccine rules

• The railway company had previously indicated that service would likely be disrupted if more employees did not inoculate themselves against the virus.
• Amtrak cited a federal judge ruling last week that curtailed enforcement of President Biden's vaccine requirement for federal contractors.

What they're saying: Amtrak CEO Bill Flynn wrote in the letter, "After reviewing our system service plans in light of these changes, we do not anticipate having system-wide service impacts in January.

• "Amtrak will continue to update its vaccine policy as needed and follow the latest health and safety guidance."
