President Joe Biden delivers remarks on the full FDA approval of the Pfizer-BioNTech coronavirus vaccine, in the South Court Auditorium on the White House campus, on Monday. | Evan Vucci/AP PhotoPresident Joe Biden on Monday pressed businesses and public leaders to implement vaccine mandates after the federal government issued its first full approval of a Covid-19 vaccine.

Biden this month mandated vaccinations or routine testing for millions of federal works and the Pentagon said Monday morning that it would require them for active military.
"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 FDA: It has now happened," he said. "The moment you've been waiting for is here."holdouts polled recently
