Defund Federal Vaccine Mandates Act

The Defund Federal Vaccine Mandates Act would prohibit federal funds from being used to establish, implement, or enforce any requirement that people receive vaccinations. It directly affects federal agencies and programs that rely on federal funding to mandate vaccines, such as those requiring vaccinations for federal employees, contractors, or federally funded services. The key provision is a spending restriction that would block federal money from supporting vaccine mandates, requiring agencies to find alternative funding sources or discontinue such mandates. This bill does not eliminate vaccine mandates but would cut off federal financial support for them.
