Judges grant temporary injunction against NY health care vaccine mandate for religious exemption
NEW YORK (WABC) -- The lawyer representing the three nurses in court in Lower Manhattan just got a temporary restraining order for his clients, two nurses at Syosset Hospital and a third in Syracuse.
The injunction will temporarily block the state from enforcing its vaccination mandate on health care workers with a religious exemption.
The nurses say the order violates their religious rights.
