President Joe Biden on Thursday said he has ordered the military to start taking steps toward making the COVID-19 vaccine mandatory for uniformed service members.



Biden said making the vaccines mandatory is important because troops often serve in places where vaccination rates are low and COVID is prevalent.



"Men and women in uniform, who protect this country against grave threats, should be protected as much as possible from getting COVID-19," he said.
