Supreme Court declines injunction in Catholic mother's vaccine case (EWTN News)

In brief

The Supreme Court declined to issue an injunction requested by a Catholic mother to temporarily stop New York State from enforcing vaccination requirements for her school-aged child.

The mother argued that her religious beliefs require her to refuse vaccinations for herself and her children. New York ended its religious exemption for vaccinations in 2019.

The case follows a 2020 note from the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, which addressed the morality of using vaccines derived from tissue from aborted children.
