President Joe Biden announced sweeping federal vaccine requirements that are expected to affect as many as 100 million American, including many in West Virginia.
The expansive rules mandate that all employers with more than 100 workers require them to be vaccinated or test for the virus weekly, affecting about 80 million Americans. And the roughly 17 million workers at health facilities that receive federal Medicare or Medicaid also will have to be fully vaccinated.
The president also signed an executive order requiring vaccinations for employees of the executive branch and contractors who do business with the federal government with no option to test out.
