WASHINGTON, DC - JUNE 23: Secretary of Veterans Affairs Denis McDonough testifies during a Senate ... [+] Appropriations Committee hearing on the fiscal year 2022 budget request for the Department of Veterans Affairs on Capitol Hill June 23, 2021 in Washington, DC. White House press secretary Jen Psaki said at a briefing earlier on Monday that the White House “has not made a determination” about the legality of a vaccine mandate for federal employees. New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio on Monday mandated vaccines or a weekly test for 340,000 municipal workers, and California Gov. employees will be subject to the mandate, according to the Times, which reported a 70% vaccination rate across V.A. With this mandate, we can once again make — and keep — that fundamental promise,” McDonough said in his statement.
