BREAKING: Most US workers required to get Covid vaccine by January 4 under new Biden rule
In a statement, the White House announced two policies ‘that will drive even more progress and result in millions of Americans getting vaccinated, protecting workers, preventing hospitalization, saving lives, and strengthening the economy’.
The Department of Labor’s Occupational Safety and Health Administration unveiled the details of a vaccination requirement for employers with 100 or more workers. OSHA’s rule also requires employers to enforce mask-wearing for unvaccinated workers and give paid time off to workers to get the jab. The rule will cover 84million employers.
