Biden announces vaccine mandate for US federal employees
All US civilian workers will be required to be vaccinated against the coronavirus or have regular testing, US President Joe Biden announced Thursday. Federal government employees will be required to attest to their vaccination status. Those who do not get the vaccine or refuse to disclose whether they received a vaccine will not be fired, but will be required to wear a mask and be tested one to two times a week, Biden said. Biden also directed the Defense Department to examine how and when it will begin requiring servicemembers to get vaccinated.
