CDC director Walensky not considering vaccine mandate for domestic flights now

WASHINGTON, Dec 28 (Reuters) - The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is not currently considering recommending a vaccine mandate for domestic flights, CDC Director Rochelle Walensky said on Tuesday.

"Certainly domestic flights has been a topic of conversation but that is not something we're revisiting right now," Walensky said on National Public Radio.

Walensky was responding to a question about remarks the previous day by Dr. Anthony Fauci, the government's top infectious disease expert, that a vaccine mandate for domestic air travel should be considered.

2. It's all about the money.

And it seems that mandates are bad for that. I’ll be interested to see how the vaccine mandate for restaurants works out here in Philadelphia. I’ll be dining out to support it but there is a lot of negative energy about it here.

It just looks like they’re afraid the airlines have already taken a big hit from this and don’t want to make things worse.
