President Biden: “If you’re one of the millions of Americans who said that they will not get the shot until it has full and final approval of the FDA, it has now happened. The moment you’ve been waiting for is here.”
President Biden calls on companies to require COVID vaccine for employees following FDA’s full Pfizer approval:

“I call on you now to do that. Require it.”
President Biden: “Make sure your child is masked when they leave home. That’s how we can best keep our kids safe.”
Dr. Anthony Fauci says “you’re going to see a lot more [vaccine] mandates” from organizations, businesses and colleges now that FDA has given full approval to Pfizer COVID vaccine.
