[butters]

In an opinion filed Friday, Judge R. Gary Klausner sided with the city's request to dismiss the suit and agreed that vaccine-related mandates for government employees were reasonable methods to help stop the spread of Covid-19.

"The Supreme Court has long rejected a fundamental right to refuse vaccination," the judge wrote. "There is also no fundamental right to continued governmental employment."

California currently leads the nation in Covid-19 cases with 6.2 million, according to John Hopkins University data, and Los Angeles County, the most populous county in the country, has more than 2 million confirmed cases

judge refuses to block healthcare workers vaccine mandate in rhode island

In ruling, McElroy observed that Rhode Island has a history of requiring vaccinations for its heath-care workers. In 2002, the state began requiring health-care workers to prove they have been immunized against diseases such as measles, mumps, rubella and chicken pox.

"In deciding to issue the regulation, the RIDOH determined that reducing the number of unvaccinated personnel who can expose vulnerable patients to a potentially deadly disease in the health-care setting is of utmost importance," McElroy said.

Th central goal, she said, is to permit only vaccinated personnel near patients to help stem COVID transmission to people in care.

The only exemptions are on narrow medical grounds, such as severe allergic reactions to the vaccines. Those employees must then comply with masking and testing regimens.
