An executive order was signed directing the Education Department and Health and Human Services to create a plan to end COVID-19 vaccine mandates in schools, fulfilling a campaign promise.
Trump argued that vaccine mandates in schools infringe on personal freedom, citing the low risk of severe illness for children and young adults as justification for ending such mandates.
While the order is unlikely to have a significant national effect, as most schools and colleges have already dropped their vaccine requirements, it threatens to withhold federal funding from institutions still enforcing COVID-19 vaccine mandates.
