The San Diego Unified School District's COVID-19 vaccine mandate for students has been upheld by a federal appeals court, which lifted a temporary injunction it placed on the mandate last week.
"Today, the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals followed the San Diego Superior Court in denying an `emergency' attempt to halt the mandate. The 9th Circuit agreed San Diego Unified is acting in the best interest of students, as opposed to discriminating on the basis of religion, as the plaintiffs had claimed," the district tweeted Saturday.
"Students and their families are encouraged to visit the district's COVID-19 Vaccine website for answers to frequently asked questions regarding the student vaccine mandate and details on opportunities to get vaccinated for free at school sites," the SDUSD continued.
A 16-year-old Scripps Ranch High School student and her parents had sued to block the mandate on religious grounds.
