White House says over 28 million COVID-19 vaccine doses will be available this week

The mandate has been floated as an idea to make air travel more safe. “The government is not now, nor will we be supporting a system that requires Americans to carry a credential. There will be no federal vaccinations database, and no federal mandate requiring everyone to maintain a single vaccination credential," Psaki said.
