ADDITIONAL STEPS. WE SHOULD BE
TAKING DELIVERIES. LIFESAVING
VACCINES TO MORE AMERICANS AND
FIRST. WERE GOING TO PROVIDE
MORE INCENTIVES TO ENCOURAGE
UNVACCINATED AMERICANS TO GET
VACCINATED. THAT STARTS WITH
PAID LEAVE TO GET THE SHOT.
WERE STILL HEARING THAT
PEOPLE ARE UNABLE TO GET TIME
OFF FROM THEIR EMPLOYER TO GET
VACCINATED. WELL, THIS IS
UNACCEPTABLE. FOR SOME TIME
NOW. IVE SAID SHOULD BE ABLE
TO GET THE SHOT AND STILL GET
PAID THANKS TO THE AMERICAN
RESCUE PLAN. THE FEDERAL
GOVERNMENT IS FULLY REIMBURSED
SEEN ANY SMALL OR MEDIUM SIZED
BUSINESS THAT PROVIDES WORKERS
AND PAID TIME OFF TO GET
VACCINATED. EMPLOYERS. THIS
COSTS YOU NOTHING. TO HAVE AND
GIVE EMPLOYEES PAID TIME OFF,
DO IT NOW. PLEASE. TODAY. IM
ANNOUNCING WERE TAKING THIS A
STEP FURTHER. THE FEDERAL
GOVERNMENT WILL NOT REIMBURSE
THOSE EMPLOYERS. TO GIVE THEIR
STAFF TO GIVE STAFF TIME OFF.
NOT ONLY GET THEMSELVES
VACCINATED ALSO TO GET THEIR
FAMILY MEMBERS VACCINATED.
THAT MEANS EMPLOYERS CAN GET
REIMBURSED IF THEY GIVE
PARENTS TIME OFF WITH PAID
TIME PAID LEAVE TO TAKE THEIR
KIDS OR THEIR OWN PARENTS TO
GET VACCINATED. SOME CALLING
ALL EMPLOYEES ACROSS THE
COUNTRY TO GIVE PAID TIME OFF
TO GET THE SHOT. AND HELP A
FAMILY MEMBER DO SO. I PROMISE
YOU WILL COST YOU THE
EMPLOYER. NOTHING. TO BE
REIMBURSED. IM ANNOUNCING
THAT WILL CONTINUE THE WORK
WAS WORK WITH STATES TO
ENCOURAGE UNVACCINATED PEOPLE
TO GET VACCINATED. IN
FEBRUARY. THE GROCERY STORE
CHAIN KROGERS. OFFERED $100. TO THEIR ASSOCIATES IF THEY
TO THEIR ASSOCIATES IF THEY
GET VACCINATED. AND IT
VACCINATION RATES MOVE UP FROM
50% TO 50% TO 75%. MUNGER
EMPLOYEES. STATES LIKE NEW
MEXICO. OHIO AND COLORADO ARE
OFFERING SIMILAR INCENTIVE
PROGRAMS AND HELP INCREASE
VACCINATION RATES. SO TODAY
IM CALLING ON ALL STATES AND
LOCAL GOVERNMENTS TO USE
FUNDING THEY HAVE RECEIVED,
INCLUDING FROM THE AMERICAN
RESCUE PLAN TO GIVE $100 TO
ANYONE WHO GETS FULLY
VACCINATE. I KNOW THE PAIN
PEOPLE GET VACCINATED MIGHT
SOUND UNFAIR TO FOLKS WHO HAVE
GOTTEN VACCINATED ALREADY.
HERES THE DEAL. IF INCENTIVES
HELP US BEAT THIS VIRUS. I
BELIEVE WE SHOULD USE THEM. WE
ALL BENEFIT. GET MORE PEOPLE
VACCINATED. IN ADDITION TO
PROVIDING INCENTIVES TO
ENCOURAGE VACCINATION. IT IS
TIME TO IMPOSE REQUIREMENTS
AND KEY GROUPS TO MAKE SURE
THEYRE VACCINATED. JUST THIS
WEEK WE TOOK AN IMPORTANT STEP
TO PROTECT OUR VETERANS. LIKE
MANY CIVILIAN HOSPITAL SYSTEMS
ARE DOING THE DEPARTMENT OF
VETERANS AFFAIRS. WELL, NOW
REQUIRE COVID-19 VACCINES FOR
DOCTORS AND NURSES AND OTHER
HEALTH CARE WORKERS WHO
PROVIDE MEDICAL CARE FOR WE
MUST DO EVERYTHING POSSIBLE TO
PROTECT OUR VETERANS FROM
GETTING COVID AND THEY COME TO
GET MEDICAL CARE. THEY SO
RICHLY EARNED SERVING THEIR
COUNTRY. WE OWN THEM. NEXT.
SINCE MANY VACCINATIONS
REQUIRED FOR ACTIVE DUTY
MILITARY TODAY. IM ASKING IS
FRESH DEPARTMENT TO LOOK INTO
HOW AND WHEN THEY WILL ADD
COVID-19 TO THE LIST OF
VACCINATIONS, ARMED FORCES
MUST GET. OUR MEN AND WOMEN IN
UNIFORM. WHO PROTECT THIS
COUNTRY GREAT THREATS SHOULD
BE PROTECTED AS MUCH AS
POSSIBLE FROM GETTING
COVID-19. I THINK THIS IS
PARTICULARLY IMPORTANT BECAUSE
OUR TROOPS ARE IN PLACE
THROUGHOUT THE WORLD. MANY
WHERE VACCINATION RATES ARE
LOW AND DISEASE IS PREVALENT.
EVERY FEDERAL GOVERNMENT
EMPLOYEE WILL BE ASKED TO TEST
TO THEIR VACCINATION STATUS.
ANYONE WHO DOES NOT A TEST. OR
IS NOT VACCINATED WILL
REQUIRE. MASK NO MATTER WHERE
THEY WORK. TEST ONE OR 2 TIMES
A WEEK TO SEE IF THEYVE OF
COURSE, ACQUIRED COVID.
SOCIALLY DISTANCE. AND
GENERALLY WILL NOT BE ALLOWED
TO TRAVEL FOR WORK. LIKEWISE
TODAY. RECKON MY
ADMINISTRATION TO TAKE STEPS
TO APPLY SIMILAR STANDARDS TO
ALL FEDERAL CONTRACTORS. IF
YOU WANT TO DO BUSINESS WITH
THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT. HERE
WORKERS VACCINATED. BECAUSE
THE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE.
REPRESENTING 10S OF THOUSANDS
OF AMERICAN BUSINESS, NATIONAL
ASSOCIATION MANUFACTURERS. THE
BUSINESS ROUNDTABLE WHICH
COMPRISES OF THE LARGEST THE
BIGGEST CORPORATIONS AND
AMERICA. FOR ALL OF SAUDI THE
ACTIONS OF THE FEDERAL
GOVERNMENT IS TAKING AN URGE
YOU TO THEM TO FOLLOW SUIT. I
ALSO COMMEND THE NATIONAL
FOOTBALL LEAGUE AS AN IF THERE
ARE OUTBREAKS AMONG
UNVACCINATED PLAYERS AND
PERSONNEL. THEN THE TEAM RISK
FORFEITING GAMES. ARCIA SPORT
AT EVERY LEVEL. TO TAKE EVERY
STEP THEY CAN. EVERY DAY MORE
BUSINESS START IMPLEMENTING
THEIR OWN VACCINE MANDATES.
THE JUSTICE DEPARTMENT HAS
MADE IT CLEAR. THAT IS LEGAL
TO REQUIRE COVID-19 VACCINES.
WELL, ON OUR LIVE TO GET BACK
TO NORMAL. AND FULLY VACCINATE
WORKPLACES WILL WELL MAKE
THAT HAPPEN MORE QUICKLY AND
