Two parents’ groups suing Los Angeles schools over a COVID-19 vaccine mandate for students say they will carry on their lawsuit despite a judge’s Dec. 14 denial of their request for a preliminary injunction against the mandate.

The California Chapter of Children’s Health Defense, along with Protection of the Educational Rights of Kids (PERK), filed a petition for the injunction on Oct. 13, arguing that the Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD) Board of Education overstepped its authority by requiring a vaccine that isn’t mandated by the state.
