President Biden is requiring that all federal workers and millions of government contractors be vaccinated against Covid-19, a person familiar with the plans said.

Mr. Biden will unveil executive orders setting those requirements on Thursday as part of a broader plan to combat the spread of the coronavirus. One order requires all federal executive branch workers to be vaccinated, and the other directs that the same standard be extended to employees of contractors that do business with the federal government, the person said.
