President Donald Trump signed an executive order on Friday to halt federal funding for schools and universities that require Covid-19 vaccinations. This move, however, is largely symbolic as many states already have laws in place that do not include the Covid-19 vaccine in their vaccination mandates for students.
Despite the Covid-19 vaccine being recommended by the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention for both children and adults, several states explicitly prohibit its inclusion in mandatory vaccination requirements. This means that Trump's executive order may not have a significant impact on current vaccination policies in many states.
