90+ Percent of Federal Workers Vaccinated

Ninety percent of the Federal Government's 3.5-million workers had been vaccinated and another 5 percent were in compliance with the conditions of the mandate President Biden announced in early September, Jeff Zients, the White House COVID coordinator, told reporters at a Nov. 22 briefing.

"So we are successfully implementing vaccination requirements for the largest workforce in the United States, with Federal employees in every part of the nation and around the world," he said. "For example, we have 98- percent compliance at the IRS, with nearly 25 percent of IRS employees getting vaccinated after the President announced the requirement. At the FBI, 99-percent compliance. "And we're well set up for the holiday travel season, with nearly 98-percent compliance in the U.S. Customs and Border Protection, 93 percent at [the Transportation  Security Administration], and 99 percent at the [Federal Aviation Administration]."
