Ask the Expert: What's next with Governor Abbott's no vaccine mandate?

As the fight over masks continues across the state, on Wednesday Governor Greg Abbott updated his executive order when it comes to vaccines.

Abbott's original executive order said vaccines were only approved for emergency use. Of course earlier this week... Pfizer's vaccine got that full approval.

Now, the Governor has issued a new executive order, saying state agencies can not require anyone to get a COVID vaccine-- regardless of the vaccine's status with the F-D-A.

On Ask the Expert, Rice University Political Science Expert Dr. Mark Jones joins the KRLD Afternoon News to discuss the issue.
