It is not as simple as answering yes or no to the mandatory nature of the covid-19 vaccine in the US, because it depends on the company or organization for which you are asking. We check what happens in the private sector with workers, massive events and trips, the states of the country, as well as schools and universities for the next academic year.

mandatory vaccination card) until the date of publication of this verification, but the Joe Biden administration does give freedom to the private sector to set it as a requirement for workers to return to work.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reiterates that “the federal government does not imposes [requires] vaccination [of covid-19] to individuals.” The three vaccines administered in the US are not mandatory, according to the provisions of the Emergency Use Authorizations (EUA) from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), which is how your application was given the green light. And in this regard, the CDC adds: “In the case of some health workers or essential employees (for whom the CDC recommended that they be the first to receive the covid-19 vaccines) , a A state or local government or an employer, for example, can require or compel workers to be vaccinated, based on state lawl” or other laws in each state.
The question about whether you can be penalized for not getting the vaccine in the United States is present: “Will the covid-19 vaccine be mandatory?”. This is how it has been entered in Google for about two months. Searches have peaked at over 6,000 searches between late April and early May and over 4,000 in mid-May. From May 28 to June 4, some 3,840 entries were registered in the search engine.
for unfair dismissal to the company he worked for, The Great Performances, because they fired him for refusing to take the injection. Coronado filed the suit in the Queens Supreme Court in New York. In addition, in Houston, Texas, 117 employees of the Houston Methodists hospital also sued this health center for its policy of requiring this immunization against covid-19 from its staff, The New York Times reported. The same newspaper recorded, on June 7, the protests of "dozens" of employees of this hospital for the same reasons.
Is the covid-19 vaccine mandatory in the United States? It depends on each sector.
As we said, the private sector has the power to demand it. And organizations and promoters of massive public events are also free to do so. To travel, the request for the negative PCR test of the virus is maintained on airlines within the country, but the vaccine is not required, nor is it required to enter the US. The states of the country also have the freedom to decide on the compulsory nature of vaccines and up to now each of them have made different decisions, as we will see. And the covid-19 vaccine is not mandatory so far in the country's schools to attend classes in person, but the universities do have the power to require it and a smaller proportion have done so. The measures will be updated upon the return of academic activities.
Then we respond with this verification what happens in each sector.
Schools and universities next academic year
For now, no state in the country requires children to receive the covid-19 vaccine to go to school, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures. And after May 10, when the Covid-19 vaccine was authorized for emergency use in adolescents 12 to 15 years of age, it seems unlikely that it will become one of the mandatory immunizations for students to return to classrooms next school year, experts told Reuters.
19 as a requirement to return to campus in 39 states of the country. However, this number of universities is equivalent to just over 9% of the 5,300 higher education centers in the US, according to Education Unlimited. Therefore, it is not a representative sample of the majority, since there are many more to pronounce on this issue until the return of academic activities.
Conclusion
It is false that the federal government forces citizens to get vaccinated, and neither do state governments. While in some states orders have been issued to prohibit requiring the vaccine as a requirement to enter venues or have access to public services, in others it is encouraged to demonstrate vaccination statusthrough digital applications. It is false that immunization against covid-19 is mandatory in schools, but it is left to employers and university authorities Request it as a requirement to return to your spaces. And for massive events it is also at the discretion of the organizers to require it or not. Regarding travel, the request for a negative coronavirus PCR test is maintained to fly with airlines within the country, but immunization is not required for passengers, nor to enter the United States.
