President Biden Steps Up Nationwide Vaccination Push

The White House is taking a carrot-and-stick approach.

Momentum is starting to grow to get more Americans vaccinated and stop the spread of the more infectious Delta variant.  President Biden is requiring around 4 million federal workers and contractors to be fully vaccinated, or mask up and face weekly COVID testing. He also wants the Pentagon to develop a plan to require the COVID vaccine to serve in the military. And the president wants local and state governments to offer cash payments of $100 for people to get the shots.  President Biden says this isn't about politics.
