It will be interesting to look at the court challenges. Yes, other vaccines are mandated for schools, but the covid vaccines have not gone through the normal approval process by the FDA (which is time consuming), and thus were given only an emergency Temporary Use Authorization, and you need to sign away your right to sue or the vendor will refuse to give you the vaccine. That's not the case with something like the measles vaccine (or really any other medical treatment), which is FDA approved and does not require waiving patient rights to obtain. Having the government require everyone to waive patient rights in order to attend school is going to create some legal challenges.
- daveguy 5y agoThe Pfizer COVID vaccine has full FDA approval. That's why these mandates have started. It is now on the same approval level as the measles vaccine.
- rsj_hn 5y agoThat is useful info, thanks. I see it has full approval for age 16 and up and still TUA for under 16. I'm assuming they will then delay implementing this until it has full approval for the relevant ages. As long as people are not required to sign away any patient rights to obtain the vaccine, it should be fine.
