State Supreme Court Gives Big Win to School That Administered COVID Vaccine Without Parental Consent
A school district cannot be sued for administering a COVID-19 vaccine to a young child despite the parents’ explicit instructions against it.
The Vermont Supreme Court ruled in favor of the Windham Southeast School District and the Vermont Department of Health on Friday, saying the organizations are not legitimate targets of the family’s lawsuit and bringing an apparent end to a legal saga that has been in play since 2021.
The issue began in November of that year as a 6-year-old, named L.P. in court records, was given one dose of a Pfizer vaccine at a clinic hosted by the district and health department.
According to WPMI-TV, prior to the clinic the 6-year-old’s parents informed the school that their child was not to be vaccinated.
