A lawsuit filed in Connecticut Superior Court is challenging the state’s removal of the religious exemption from mandatory school vaccinations, which families say is not only absurd but also unconstitutional.
The lawsuit involves two families, with each of them having one child currently in school under previously granted vaccine exemptions and a younger child unable to register for school at all due to the new state law, which will take effect on Sept. 1 at the beginning of the 2022-2023 school year.
