Students have brought lawsuits challenging Covid-19 shot requirements at major university systems, posing a significant test to the government’s power to press vaccinations
Hundreds of thousands of college and graduate students at public universities have been given a choice: Get fully vaccinated against Covid-19 or don’t show up to campus in the fall.Students have brought federal lawsuits challenging the vaccination requirements at major public university systems in Indiana, Connecticut, California and Massachusetts.
The odds against the lawsuits are considerable, public-health law scholars say. Already a federal appeals court has affirmed Indiana University’s vaccine requirement, a decision cited by other school defendants. When balancing public-health interests against individual liberties, courts historically have given state entities much deference.
Still, the antivaccine legal effort represents one of the most significant tests in recent years of the government’s power to press adults to get vaccinated, legal scholars said.
