A New Mexico judge on Oct. 15 rejected a request by dozens of workers at the Los Alamos National Laboratory to block a COVID-19 vaccine mandate.

The mandate, which took effect on the afternoon of Oct. 15, was challenged by a total of 114 workers at the laboratory, which was the birthplace of the atomic bomb.
