The White House on Monday called on employers to adhere to the Biden administration’s COVID-19 vaccine mandate for private businesses, after an appeals court temporarily blocked it on Nov. 6.
“We think people should not wait,” White House principal deputy press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre told reporters, responding to a question on whether employers should hold off on requiring employees to be vaccinated after the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals over the weekend put the mandate on hold as judges decide whether or not to overturn it.
