In 2015, attorney Lisa Runquist wrote for Church Law & Tax about what rights the government possesses when it comes to vaccination requirements, particularly for children. The issue is especially relevant for churches that operate daycares, nurseries, and schools.

Runquist unpacks everything driving that expansion in a new article for Church Law & Tax. The article provides church leaders nine considerations regarding government mandates concerning vaccines and masks, including:
