(New York, NY) — New York City teachers –hardly supporters of former President Trump –are asking the U.S. Supreme Court for an emergency injunction against the vaccine mandate. The mandate is set to go into effect October 1st. City teachers claim the mandate violates their due process and equal right protections. Meantime, as of Monday, Mayor de Blasio says 90-percent of teachers and 97-percent of principals were vaccinated.
Judge Grants Emergency Restraining Order Concerning NY Healthcare Vax Mandate
Yesterday a judge granted an emergency restraining order concerning the state’s COVID-19 vaccine mandate and healthcare workers. It means the state will be at least temporarily blocked from enforcing its vaccine requirement for workers at healthcare facilities, which does allow for religious exemptions. The mandate has technically been in effect since Tuesday, and Governor Kathy Hochul has vowed to replace suspended workers with substitutes. Two nurses from Syosset Hospital on Long Island and a third from Syracuse originally brought this legal action against the state.
