President Joe Biden also moved to mandate shots for health care workers, federal contractors and a vast majority of federal workers, who could face disciplinary measures if they refuse. A number of the earliest mandates have been in places where vaccination rates were already relatively high, suggesting that their efficacy in other corners of the country remains somewhat untested. In New York, Rhode Island, Maine, Oregon and the District of Columbia, health care workers must get vaccinated to remain employed. The needle then moved by another 5 points or so after the second mandate, adding 750 more vaccinated workers. But other companies, including those outside the health care industry, have seen some success in more conservative parts of the country.
