U.S. Supreme Court Declines New York Catholic Woman's Bid for Religious Exception to School Vaccine Policy

The U.S. Supreme Court on September 8 declined to hear a case from a Catholic woman in New York seeking a religious exemption for her son from state-mandated school vaccinations. The court did not provide an explanation for its decision, which is typical for rulings on its emergency docket. This decision has implications for state vaccine requirements and religious exemptions nationwide.
