Depends on the state, but there is tons of precedent that it is legal.
A whole lot of what I read disagrees with this. The 10 lawyers in my family disagree. My genius uncle cited the case law out of his head. most notable, the at will part of employment.
From the same place: https://www.statnews.com/2021/04/05/authorization-status-covid-19-vaccine-red-herring-mandating-vaccination/
"A little context to begin: This is new ground. The FDA has never before granted an EUA for a vaccine for the entire population, so there is no perfect precedent here. Employers, especially health care entities, and universities have, however, historically mandated vaccines. These mandates, which are designed to increase safety, stand on solid legal ground, though accommodations may be legally required for those with disabilities or religious beliefs."
So we're both wrong, but I see it happening.
Atheist, btw.
Atheists are even worse.
There is not precedent that it is legal. Best I can tell, it's yet unchallenged.
Schools have been this way for decades in some states.
Just search the question and you'll get your answer, in most cases, yes.
Except for California, and maybe New York City, there is not a school in this country that requires vaccines.
California has several lawsuits filed. And that's for FDA approved vaccines.
