(CNN)President Joe Biden will announce on Thursday a requirement that all federal employees and contractors be vaccinated against Covid-19, or be required to submit to regular testing and mitigation requirements, according to a source with direct knowledge of the matter.

California will require state employees and all healthcare workers to provide proof of COVID-19 vaccination or get tested weekly. Gov.

More vaccine mandates may be imposed across the US once the Food and Drug Administration gives its final stamp of approval to COVID-19 shots, health experts have predicted. The three vaccines on the market are currently being administered under an emergency use authorization but a full regulatory sign off could remove legal hurdles for businesses and government agencies that want to require shots for their customers and employees, NBC News reported. “I think once the vaccines go through full FDA approval, everything should be on the table, and I think that everything will be on the table at the level...

Former Obama adviser Valerie Jarrett said Friday on MSNBC’s “Andrea Mitchell Reports” that she supported coronavirus vaccine mandates. Jarrett said, “I’m all for mandating it.

Last Monday, French president Emmanuel Macron told his subjects that COVID vaccinations would now be mandatory for certain segments of the population, and what did we tell you would happen? We told you that all of Europe would soon follow his lead. Well, that didn’t take long.

In America we have a little bit of a reprieve, it is illegal to make any vaccine mandatory if it has not been approved by the FDA, which none of the COVID vaccines...

Saint Alphonsus and St. Luke’s health systems both announced Thursday that all of their Idaho employees will need to get the COVID-19 vaccine. The move also applies to contractors they work with.

The CDC's new guidance says that masks should be worn if...
