Justice Amy Coney Barrett has declined a request to block Indiana University's vaccine mandate, signaling that similar mandates going into effect amidst a Covid-19 surge could pass legal muster.
Barrett, who has jurisdiction over the appeals court involved in the case, acted alone without referring the matter to the full court.Barrett's action marks the first time the justices have been asked to weigh in on the legality of a mandate that private and public entities increasingly believe will combat the spread of Covid-19.
A panel of judges on the 7th US Circuit Court of Appeals -- all Republican appointees -- said that vaccination requirements"have been common in this nation" and stressed that the school's policies allow exemptions for those who have medical issues related to the vaccine or religious objections. More than 400 universities are requiring Covid-19 vaccines.
