US to End COVID Vaccine Mandates for Federal Workers and Travelers

The Biden administration will end most federal Covid-19 vaccine requirements on May 11, including for federal workers, international travelers, contractors, Head Start employees, and many hospital workers. The decision comes as Covid-19 deaths in the United States have declined by 95 percent since January 2021. The end of federal vaccine requirements will have an immediate impact on tens of thousands of Americans, as well as foreigners who travel to the United States, including Novak Djokovic, who will now be able to play in the U.S. Open.
