The US president Joe Biden is calling that the state should offer money to get vaccinated.
Biden urged the local governments to use the funds from the COVID relief package to offer $100 to the unvaccinated and get them jabbed.
“Right now, too many people are dying or watching someone they love die and say if ‘I’d just got the vaccine’. This is an American tragedy. People are dying who don’t have to die,” President Biden said.
Biden administration also announced mandatory vaccination for the federal workers. If not vaccinated they should be wearing masks, follow the social distancing protocols, and should go through weekly testings.
The move is to push the people to get vaccinated. Biden also called for private employees to follow the federal footsteps and impose burdens on unvaccinated.
Biden also directed the Defence Department to look into adding the Covid-19 shot to its list of required vaccinations for members of the military.
“It’s an American blessing that we have vaccines for each and every American. It’s such a shame to squander that blessing," he said.
