That said, logistics alone will probably prevent most businesses from even trying to require vaccination. “If we start from the practicality standpoint, it’s extremely hard to enforce something like that,” Reiss said. “There’s also privacy concerns. How are you going to submit to require evidence of vaccination?” Further, if the pandemic has slowed down enough by the time the vaccines have received full licensure, businesses may no longer feel it’s necessary to require proof of vaccination.

Q: Can my college or university require me to get vaccinated against Covid-19?

Most people think of public school when it comes to immunization requirements, but higher education institutions are increasingly considering requirements beyond the usual vaccines required in public school. Reiss mentioned a recent case in which a judge ruled that a college’s flu vaccine requirement was constitutional, though, again, it may only be so after a vaccine has received full FDA approval.

Q: Will children be required to get the vaccine to attend in-person school?

It won’t be possible for children to even receive the vaccine until it’s been tested and approved for use in children. So far, only Pfizer has begun testing the vaccine in children, starting with those aged 12. If the vaccine is found safe and effective in those children, another trial will likely test younger children. No other companies have announced trials in children yet, but they likely will once they have enough data in adults.

Until vaccines are recommended and widely available for children, there won’t be school requirements for them. Once they are widely available, it will depend on each state’s legislature whether to pass a law requiring Covid-19 vaccination for school attendance.

Glossary
ACIP — Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices, the CDC committee of medical and public health experts who review data on vaccines and make recommendations on who should receive them and when.

Adverse event — any negative health effect that occurs after being vaccinated, whether it was caused by the vaccine or not.

Antibodies — proteins made by the immune system which attach to a pathogen (virus or bacteria) and show the immune system which infected cells to attack.

Antigen — the piece of a pathogen (virus or bacteria), most often a protein, that the immune system recognizes as foreign and which then prompts the immune system to mount a defense against the pathogen.

Cytoplasm — all the material inside a cell besides the nucleus.

Disease — when an infection progresses enough to cause cell damage and symptoms.

Effectiveness — how well a vaccine prevents disease in the real world.

Efficacy — how well a vaccine prevents disease during a clinical trial.

EUA — Emergency Use Authorization, a temporary decision by the FDA to allow the use of a new, unapproved medical product during a public health emergency as long as there is evidence of its safety and effectiveness and there are no alternatives.

Herd immunity — when so many people in a population are immune to a disease that the disease cannot spread very far through the population (because not enough people catch it and transmit it to others); also called community immunity.

Immunity — protection against developing a disease.
