In this podcast recorded in December 2021, Professor Marianne Artusio discusses the legality of vaccine mandates in the United States. As she explains, historically courts generally applied a deferential rational basis test when evaluating legal challenges to such mandates. Professor Artusio also discusses recent vaccine mandates adopted in response to the pandemic as well as how courts have responded to lawsuits challenging those mandates.
