Teachers protested in August against COVID-19 vaccination mandates in New York. On Friday, U.S. Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor denied an emergency appeal from a group of teachers to block the city’s vaccine mandate for public school teachers and other staff.

Vinoo Varghese, an attorney for the teachers, said in an email, «We are disappointed, but the fight for our clients’ due process and those similarly situated will go on.»

An original deadline earlier this week was delayed after a legal challenge, but a federal appeals panel said Monday that New York City could go ahead with the mandate in the country’s largest school district.

In August, Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett denied an emergency appeal from students at Indiana University to block that institution’s vaccine mandate.
