US News and World Report/Reuters: Biden Won't Rule Out Requiring U.S. Service Members to Get COVID-19 Vaccine -NBC Interview
WASHINGTON (Reuters) -President Joe Biden said he has not ruled out requiring U.S. service members to get a COVID-19 vaccine, according to an NBC interview broadcast on Friday.
"I'm not saying I won't," Biden said when asked if he would require the men and women in the U.S. armed services to get vaccinated. "I think you're going to see more and more of them getting it. And I think it's going to be a tough call as to whether or not they should be required to get it in the military, because you're in such close proximity with other military personnel," Biden said in the interview, conducted on Thursday.
