Tens of millions of Americans who work at companies with 100 or more employees will need to be vaccinated against COVID-19 by Jan. 4 or get tested for the virus weekly under government rules that took effect Nov. 4, the Associated Press reported.
Vaccines against the coronavirus became available on March 29 to all adults. The Department of State Health Services has posted information about when and where Texas residents can get a vaccine, with vaccines for young kids likely to approved soon.
In May, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention announced that people fully vaccinated against COVID-19 didn’t need to wear protective face masks or social distance at gatherings of any size.
