Do you all think there will be a point when all federal employees would be required to take a Covid19 vaccine?

You will probally not be forced to take the vaccine. But those that are not vaccinated can't work here! As its looking right now with out your papers...I mean your vaccine shot record you will not be able to move freely in American soon! Edited by user Wednesday, December 23, 2020 6:33:28 AM(UTC)

Probably some but not all, although that's just a guess. A decent article on the topic is linked below. https://www.fedsmith.com...al-employees-can-expect/

This is already happening in some facilities: "For example, healthcare providers who work for the Department of Veterans Affairs, who are charged with caring for our nation’s veterans may be required to receive a COVID-19 vaccine as a necessary requirement for their position to prevent transmission of the virus in VA hospitals."

It is interesting to think about.
My position could 100% telework efficiently but I'm sure management wants to see us in the office, just because.
As people take it and return to the office, how do they deal with someone who won't take it? (i.e. no medical reason, no religious reason - healthy person.)

A Federal Judge put a stop to Biden's order to force Federal employees and contractors to get vaxxed, stating that it was an Executive overreach.
But then this morning, our Secretary said it doesn't matter what the judge told the President, he ordered us to get vaxxed and that's that.
If his authority stems from the President, then logically the ruling also includes his actions.
The amount of hubris one develops when they come to Washington and get surrounded by a bunch of yes men, is insane.
