Supreme Court declines Catholic mother’s bid for son’s vaccine exemption in N.Y.
Tuesday, September 8, 2026
The Supreme Court declined to hear a case brought by a New York woman seeking to enroll her son in kindergarten without receiving state-mandated vaccines. The woman had argued the requirement violated her religious rights. New York law requires students to be vaccinated unless they have a medical exemption, with no religious or philosophical exemption available.
