Subject: RE: Will Tennessee require Covid Vax for our kids?

Hi Chairman, The Department of Health does not require any Covid-19 vaccines and will not require Tennesseans to receive a Covid-19 vaccine for any reason. In addition, Tennessee state law prohibits a governmental entity, school, or local education agency from mandating Covid-19 vaccines (pursuant to Tenn. Code Ann. § 14-2-10).

Please let me know if you have any other questions.

Best, Olivia Olivia L. Spears, Esq.
Assistant Commissioner Office of Legislative Affairs
Andrew Johnson Tower, Fifth Floor 710 James Robertson Parkway Nashville
