Appeals courts had conflicting rulings in the cases, but the vaccine mandates were rescinded before the Supreme Court could weigh in. The Biden administration ended the federal COVID-19 vaccine mandate in May, while the Pentagon rescinded its rule for military members in January.

The Supreme Court determined that disputes over the mandate were moot, as the vaccination rules are now defunct. The decision creates a clean legal slate for any future vaccine mandates, according to The Hill.
