Coronavirus vaccine mandates have become more commonplace with the support of big governments and the private sector, suggesting the list of employers willing to make shots compulsory will continue to grow.
The Department of Veterans Affairs will be the first federal agency to
make vaccinations mandatory for all its healthcare employees who work directly with patients, such as doctors, dentists, nurses, and physician assistants. VA Secretary Denis McDonough made the announcement Monday, marking a departure from the Biden administration’s resistance to imposing a vaccine mandate.
“Whenever a veteran or VA employee sets foot in a VA facility, they deserve to know that we have done everything in our power to protect them from COVID-19. With this mandate, we can once again make and keep that fundamental promise,” McDonough said Monday.
