Indiana has set some precedent when it comes to vaccine mandates, and the pandemic has many businesses and institutions scrambling to find the right balance. So, what are the laws when it comes to vaccines and mandates and how do they get decided?

Today we talk to an expert about vaccination laws and the history behind them. We also find out where consent comes into play with vaccines such as the rights of teens to get vaccinated without parental consent.
