A federal judge on Tuesday blocked a Louisiana medical school from requiring students to receive COVID-19 vaccinations as a condition of attendance for the fall semester.

The lawsuit was brought by Louisiana Attorney General Jeff Landry on behalf of three students at the Edward Via College of Osteopathic Medicine (VCOM), a private institution that operates six locations across southern United States, including one housed on the campus of the University of Louisiana-Monroe (ULM).
