The Peninsula
MCLEAN, Va - President Joe Biden said on Tuesday his administration is considering whether to require U.S. federal employees to be vaccinated against COVID-19.
"That's under consideration right now," Biden told a reporter who asked whether the administration was weighing such a requirement. Biden made the remark during a visit to the Office of the Director of National Intelligence in McLean, Virginia, as his administration's health experts advised Americans fully vaccinated against COVID-19 to start wearing masks again in some circumstances due to the virus' fast-spreading Delta variant.
