The Biden administration plans to provide “education and counseling” to federal workers who don’t get vaccinated by December, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Director Dr. Rochelle Walensky said on Oct. 20.
On Sept. 9, President Joe Biden announced sweeping measures that focus on the federal government, the health care sector, and private businesses. Federal workers and federal contractors will be required to get a COVID-19 vaccine. Contractors have until Dec. 8 to mandate their employees to get the shot. Federal contractors can’t allow their employees to opt out.
