Supreme Court declines to intervene in New York religious vaccine exemption case
The justices said the 5-year-old could not enroll for now, and Justices Samuel Alito and Neil Gorsuch would have granted the mother’s request.
- On Tuesday, The Supreme Court denied a New York mother's emergency appeal to enroll her 5-year-old in Kindergarten without state-required vaccines, allowing the Eastchester Union Free School District to maintain its policy.
- New York repealed religious exemptions in 2019, leaving only medical waivers for 0.3% of Kindergartens, while the mother, a Catholic, argues vaccines violate God's created order through mixing of human and animal biological material.
- In response, New York Attorney General Letitia James argued medical exemptions are "tightly constrained in both scope and duration, and it serves rather than undermines the law's objective of protecting the health of schoolchildren."
- Justices Samuel Alito and Neil Gorsuch indicated they would have granted the request, though the Circuit Court rejected similar vaccine mandate challenges brought by Amish parents earlier this year.
- Vaccination rates in Kindergartens remain lower than pre-pandemic levels; vaccines have become a political minefield since COVID, complicated by the Trump administration's push for fewer childhood vaccinations.
