Biden meets with CEOs and business leaders about COVID-19 vaccine mandate
CBSN
President Biden is meeting with CEOs and other business leaders at the White House on Wednesday, days after he announced companies with at least 100 employees will need to require COVID-19 vaccinations or regular testing for employees.
Arizona became the first state to sue over the mandate this week, although the Department of Labor has yet to create the rule mandating the vaccine. How the sweeping vaccine mandate will hold up in court remains to be seen.
The new vaccine mandate on many businesses is expected to cover 80 million Americans. CEOs and presidents of Disney, Microsoft, Walgreens, Kaiser Permanente Children's Hospital of Philadelphia and other leaders are participating in the meeting. The president said the mandate is about saving lives.
