Biden is revoking COVID-19 vaccine mandates for federal workers, contractors and foreign travelers flying to the U.S. The orders take effect on May 12.
On Sept. 9, 2021, Biden issues two orders requiring COVID-19 vaccination for federal workers and ensuring contractors and subcontractors "have adequate COVID-19 safety protocols."

Biden said those directives came at a time when the highly contagious delta variant of the virus in the United States had led to a rapid rise in cases and hospitalizations. "Those orders were necessary to protect the health and safety of critical workforces serving the American people and to advance the efficiency of Government services during the COVID-19 pandemic," the president wrote Tuesday.
