When I was coming along it was mandated that all school children receive certain vaccinations as a condition of admittance to public school. Later, in approximately fourth or fifth grade it was mandated that we receive the Salk vaccine which was administered by a sugar cube impregnated with the vaccine. These vaccines were mandated by state and/or county rules, not by the federal government.
States, counties and local governments can do this because they have police powers. The US Constitution does not grant police powers to the federal government. So if Maryland or Worcester County mandates vaccinations that is a legal function of their governor or legislature. If Joe Biden or the United States Congress mandates vaccinations then it is certainly an overstepping of their authorities.
