President Biden isn’t considering issuing a coronavirus vaccine requirement for the country, according to an administration official.

White House Coronavirus Response Coordinator Jeff Zients told CNN’s Wolf Blitzer on Thursday, “That’s not an authority that we’re exploring at all.”

However, Zients pointed out that the Justice Department has declared it legal for employers to require vaccinations.

Biden on Thursday mandated all federal employees and contractors, with the exception of those working for the Department of Defense, must be vaccinated or agree to weekly testing and other requirements.
