(VOVWORLD) - President Joe Biden took aim on Thursday at vaccine resistance in America, announcing policies requiring most federal employees to get COVID-19 vaccinations and pushing large employers to have their workers inoculated or tested weekly.

The new measures, which Biden laid out in remarks from the White House, would apply to about two-thirds of all US employees -  those who work for businesses with more than 100 workers. The new policies are Biden's most aggressive steps yet to prod Americans resistant to vaccination as the fast-spreading Delta variant sparks a new wave of sickness and death. Despite a full-throttle campaign by the Biden administration to persuade Americans to get the free and widely available vaccines, just over 62% of eligible Americans are fully vaccinated, according to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
