President Joe Biden has recently asked the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) to consider mandating businesses with 100 or more employees to require their employees to get vaccinated against Covid-19. This mandate would be the first of its kind in the United States, and it could set a precedent for other businesses and organizations to follow.
Biden Requests OSHA Vaccine Mandate
On April 15th, 2021, President Joe Biden issued a request to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) to consider mandating businesses with 100 or more employees to require their employees to get vaccinated against Covid-19. This would be the first of its kind in the United States, and it would set a precedent for other businesses and organizations to follow.
The request was made as part of the President’s larger goal of achieving herd immunity in the United States. President Biden believes that this mandate would help to protect workers from the virus, and would also help to reduce the spread of the virus in the workplace.
