White House official doesn't rule out requiring COVID-19 vaccines or tests for domestic flights [View all]

COVID-19 vaccination or testing mandates could one day be needed for domestic air travel in the United States, a White House official hinted Friday.

"Overall, I think we have a very strong track record that shows we're pulling available levers to acquire vaccinations and we're not taking any measures off the table," White House COVID-19 response coordinator Jeff Zients said during a virtual press briefing.

Zients made the remarks in response to a reporter's question about whether COVID-19 vaccination or test requirements have been ruled out by the White House for domestic flights.

"As to travel we're taking further action, as you know, to double the fines for non-compliance of masking on airlines," said Zients.
