President Biden is moving to require roughly 100 million Americans to get vaccinated against the coronavirus, including federal employees, health care workers and some private sector staff. At the time of this report, 53% of the US is has received the COVID vaccine. The plan details that employers with 100 or more employees will have to make the vaccine mandatory.
