New York health care workers were granted some reprieve from the state's COVID-19 vaccine mandate as the judge temporarily paused its enforcement after a group of workers sued, calling the mandate unconstitutional.
A group of 17 health care professionals, including doctors and nurses, sued the state of New York for violating their Constitutional rights by not allowing religious exemptions for the state's vaccine mandate, arguing against it in a lawsuit Monday.

Judge David Hurd in Utica ruled in the group's favor, issuing an order temporarily blocking New York from enforcing its COVID-19 vaccine mandate.
