The new HHS secretary published the legislators at the time that he was not anti-vaccine, but rather “pro-security”.
About a dozen states, including Arkansas, Connecticut, Indiana, Minnesota, New Jersey, New York, Oregon and Texas have introduced a variety of changes.

Others prohibit all future COVVI-19 vaccine mandates linked to education, work or travel, some providing an exception if states legislatures are able to adopt a new bill requiring vaccinations for some public health emergencies.
