New federal vaccine mandate unveiled

By Doug Barrett Sep 10, 2021 | 8:25 AM

President Joe Biden has announced sweeping new federal vaccine requirements affecting as many as 100 million Americans in an all-out effort to curb the surging COVID-19.

The mandate requires all employers with more than 100 workers to require vaccination – or test for the virus weekly.   The executive order also requires vaccination for all employees of the executive branch and contractors who do business with the federal government.

There are around 9,500 federal workers in North Dakota – including nearly one-thousand in Grand Forks County.

Biden’s message to the unvaccinated was, “our patience is wearing thin. And your refusal has cost all of us.”
