FORWARD: Gov. Holcomb issues statement in response to President Joe Biden's Vaccine Mandate

INDIANAPOLIS - We are forwarding this statement by Governor Eric J. Holcomb in response to President Joe Biden's recent announcement to mandate the COVID-19 vaccine to employers. The statement was issued earlier today by the governor's office.

"I believe the vaccine is the number one tool that will protect us and our loved ones against COVID-19. It is the tool that will end the pandemic. However, I strongly believe it’s not the state or federal government’s role to issue a vaccine mandate upon citizens and private businesses. This is the approach our administration has taken all along. The announcement from President Biden is a bridge too far. Private businesses should be able to look at their own mission, their staff and their goals and make the decision best for them that will keep their doors open. I believe it is fundamentally a citizen’s right to choose whether or not to get the vaccine. While I wish everyone would get the vaccine, we are a country built on this exact type of freedom.”
