The U.S. Labor Department will shortly issue an emergency rule to require all employers with more than 100 employees under them, whether they work for the federal government or not, to ensure their workers are fully vaccinated or face testing at least once a week.
This Labor Department vaccination requirement will cover 100 million Americans, about two thirds of the U.S. working class.
This was announced by President Joe Biden while delivering remarks on the importance of COVID-19 vaccine requirements in Elk Grove Village, Illinois, Thursday.
