Joe Biden will support mandates from private and local governments requiring vaccines – but the White House reiterated Monday that the president will not support a federal vaccine passport.
'Does President Biden agree… that at the local level there should be more vaccine mandates?' Fox News' Peter Doocy asked during a press briefing after the top advisor on the pandemic called on Sunday for vaccine mandates.
'That's not a decision we are making,' White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki replied. 'That's not our intention from the federal government.'

Doocy was referencing Dr. Anthony Fauci's comments to CNN on Sunday, where the top immunologist pushed for more mandates requiring coronavirus vaccines.
