The White House has published new guidance about the COVID-19 vaccine mandate for federal contractors, laying out details like deadlines and how contractors can enforce the rule with employees who refuse to get vaccinated.
On Sept. 9, President Joe Biden signed an executive order that requires all federal contractors to be vaccinated and follow masking and social distancing policies by Dec. 8. The Safer Federal Workforce Task Force published an FAQ about the new requirements on its website detailing some of the flexibility contractors have in regards to the mandate.
