Dr. Anthony Fauci said the US should consider a vaccine mandate for domestic air travel to help drive up the lagging vaccination rate and strengthen protection on flights. The suggestion could signal a potential embrace of an idea the Biden administration has previously eschewed, as COVID-19 cases spike.
