Mandates can increase vaccine uptake, but their effectiveness is associated with who is covered, penalties, and exemptions. The US federal government recently required federal employees to be vaccinated against SARS-CoV-2 and developed standards for large employers. However, individual states traditionally take the lead in regulating public health via vaccine mandates. Some states have attempted to introduce requirements to increase uptake of COVID-19 vaccines. However, others have attempted to impede COVID-19 vaccine mandates. Most efforts have been considered by legislatures; also, some governors and regulatory agencies have issued executive orders. We assessed state-level legal interventions to promote or impede COVID-19 vaccine mandates since the beginning of the pandemic.
