'Vaccine Requirements Work': Biden Meets With Business Leaders on Covid Response

The first part of the plan is to vaccinate the unvaccinated. This is a pandemic of the unvaccinated. Only right now the labor department is

work

ing on emergency rules that require all employers with 100 or more

work

ers to make sure their workers are fully vaccinated and undergo regular testing and will take a little time to implement. those

requirements

according to the law. We will also require almost all health care workers to be vaccinated, in addition to that, if we seek care in a health center, it seems to me that you should be sure that the people treating you are vaccinated and that is what we are doing.

In total, these vaccination

requirements

will cover one hundred million workers, two-thirds of all workers and bill according to the previous requirements. We have installed that so far and the

vaccine

requirements work and more companies are instituting them even on Fox News that require them and I'm not being facetious when I say I am, but it's interesting that they stepped up and did it too and uh and the group that I'm meeting with here today is leading the way that we'll hear from the CEOs and presidents of Disney Microsoft Walgreens Columbia Sportswear Kaiser Permanente Children's Hospital of Philadelphia chop I spent a lot of time and Molly Moon ice cream and we're with us Josh Bolton, who represents the Business Roundtable, which was a creation, I think, years and years and years ago in Wilmington, Delaware, and then a pond company and, uh, but he represents over 200 major companies that championed the

vaccine

mandates to ensure that we keep

business

es open and workers safe and we also have Bill Tate since he instituted the requirement that Louisiana State University moved from a requirement that there be vaccines. uh the vaccination rate at Louisiana State University went from 63 to 81 percent of students vaccinated in weeks and it's about beating this virus and it's about saving lives, that's what it's about thank you for watching our YouTube channel , follow today's top stories and breaking news by downloading the NBC News app
