From AFGE: 92% of Federal Workers Have Received at Least 1 Dose of Anti-COVID Vaccines
Since President Biden issued a vaccine mandate for the federal workforce as a way to curb the COVID-19 pandemic and prevent deaths, 92% of federal employees have received at least one dose of the FDA-approved anti-COVID vaccines.
The Sept. 9 executive order mandated that federal workers be fully vaccinated by Nov. 22 with limited exceptions. The mandate covers 3.5 million federal workers across the country and around the world.
The administration, however, has just announced that they will be deferring suspensions and removals related to President Biden’s vaccine mandate until after the holiday season. AFGE continues to encourage all our members who are able to obtain one of the FDA-approved anti-COVID vaccines as soon as they possibly can.
