Momentum is growing for mandatory COVID-19 vaccines.
The Department of Veteran Affairs now says front-line health care workers need to get the shots within the next two months or they may be fired. New York City and the state of California are telling government workers to either get vaccinated or face weekly testing.
There's also a push from a unified voice of nearly 60 health care associations, saying the health care community should lead the way in requiring vaccines for all employees.
