Breaking: President Biden will require federal employees to wear masks, physically distance from others in the workplace and get tested regularly if they’re not willing to get vaccinated against COVID-19.
A growing number of government agencies are requiring employees to provide proof of vaccination against COVID-19 or undergo regular testing.The White House has previously been wary of any kind of vaccine requirements, preferring to focus on making the shots easily accessible and nudging people toward getting inoculated.
Mandates or vaccine passports have been controversial ideas, especially with some Republicans and right-wing commentators dialing up the outrage over heavy-handed government initiatives. Walensky said that requiring vaccines at this point could be tricky because the Food and Drug Administration has authorized them only on an emergency basis and the full approval process could last several more months.
She said it was particularly important to require healthcare workers or nursing home employees to get their shots.“It’s just simply too risky to not have staff in those places vaccinated,” Nuzzo said.
