The federal Office of Personnel Management (OPM) said that President Joe Biden’s vaccine mandate announced last month for federal workers can be enforced in November, giving employees about a month to get a CCP virus vaccine.

In a memo (pdf) released by Director Kiran Ahuja on Oct. 1, the OPM advised federal workers that they shouldn’t wait until the last minute to get vaccinated because “other events often interfere with even well-laid plans.”
