So where do we have vaccine mandates today? I understand some employers mandate it, esp in government or healthcare settings, but I've never worked at a place that has. I didn't get the covid vaccine and nothing changed with my life - I was still able to go to restaurants, movies, and fly internationally. Nobody asks me for my immunizations from the 1980s when I was in k-12.

"All 50 states and Washington D.C. have laws requiring certain vaccines for students to attend school."
Employers, as a result, tend not to have their own requirements, for the same reasons they don't ask you to demonstrate you can count to ten if you have a high school diploma.
(And don't worry, they've got folks from other countries who might not have gone through our school system covered; https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/immigrat...)

Because you are virtually guaranteed to have had them. They will also not ask you if you're potty trained.
