President Biden is expected to announce Thursday that federal government employees and contractors must get the COVID-19 vaccine or they will be subject to frequent testing for the virus, a source familiar with the plans confirmed to The Hill.
Biden will outline the new protocols for federal workers during a speech Thursday in which he plans to detail efforts to get more Americans vaccinated as cases around the country are on the rise.
White House principal deputy press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre told reporters on Wednesday that no decision has been finalized, but a system where federal employees must get the vaccine or submit to strict safety protocols is under "strong consideration."
The president on Tuesday acknowledged his administration is considering making it mandatory for federal workers to get the coronavirus vaccine.

Also, why are people who refuse given the option to remain unvaccinated if they get tested frequently ?
They just need to be fired immediately & be ineligible for any severance or unemployment benefits.
