Will approval pave the way for mandatory vaccinations?
More than 500 U.S. universities and some high-profile hospitals have already issued vaccine mandates, meaning staff and students must be vaccinated.
But many schools and hospitals are hesitant to ask their employees to take what is technically still an experimental product and are holding out for full approval; so is the U.S. military. Some states, including those with some of the lowest vaccination rates in the country, such as Alabama, Arkansas, and Tennessee, have gone so far as to ban mandates in schools and colleges until vaccines are fully approved. (Conversely, a judge this week upheld Indiana University’s vaccine mandate after it was challenged by a group of eight students.) Once a vaccine is approved, “I think it will be on firmer foundation for organizations and businesses to mandate it,” Goodman says.
