It appears the Biden Administration has ceded to increasing calls for an onerous COVID vaccine mandate to end for international air travelers, along with federal workers and contractors, according to USA Today.
This follows President Joe Biden's signing, back in April, legislation that draws to a close to the national coronavirus emergency on May 11, the publication reported on Monday.
The White House said the vaccination requirement would end for federal employees and contractors on May 11 when the national coronavirus emergency is also due to end. It also applies to international travelers.
"While vaccination remains one of the most important tools in advancing the health and safety of employees and promoting the efficiency of workplaces, we are now in a different phase of our response when these measures are no longer necessary," the White House said.
They also hinted that more is on the way, with mandates ending at some point for other government agencies and programs, like "Head Start educators" and "Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services certified healthcare facilities." Hidden among those items is the possibility that the requirement for vaccination from COVID could also be ended for "certain foreign nationals at the land border."
