A federal court panel turned down a bid to block United Airlines COVID-19 vaccine mandate, though one judge said he would have blocked the vaccination requirements.

Three judges on the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals considered a request by six United workers to halt the enforcement of the mandate, which has the company force workers given a religious or medical exemption to go on unpaid leave.
