Vax mandate

Retro television test pattern with vaccine mandatory emergency message

Tennessee Attorney General Herbert Slatery put his opposition to President Joe Biden's proposed vaccine mandate in writing Thursday, sending a letter to the White House that challenged the legality of the policy. 

Earlier this month, the president ordered new vaccine mandates for federal workers as well as a requirement that all employers with more than 100 workers mandate vaccination or weekly testing for their employees. The latter would reportedly apply to upwards of 80 million workers. Around 74 percent of Americans who are eligible for the vaccine — those 12 and older — have received at least one dose.Â
