Republican Illinois Rep. Rodney Davis asked House Speaker Nancy Pelosi for a vaccination program for essential workers in the U.S. Capitol, CNN reported Tuesday.
Davis wrote Monday that the House should have a vaccine program like those that states, communities and businesses have, according to the letter provided to the Daily Caller News Foundation.
“As an essential branch of government, it is vital that our institution returns to full functionality and that our Members and essential staff are provided a transparent vaccination plan to not only ensure the continuity of operations, but the health and safety of our committed workforce,” Davis wrote.
