On March 3, 2022, Indiana joined several other states in imposing limits on employer COVID-19 vaccine mandate programs. Governor Holcomb signed House Bill 1001 into law, which prohibits private employers from mandating the COVID-19 vaccine unless they provide for individual exemptions based on medical reasons, religious reasons, and “natural immunity” from prior infection. The law defines “employee” to include full- and part-time employees, independent contractors, subcontractors and interns. An “employer” is any entity with at least one employee.
