| Subject: Great: Rockland health dept. sued over order barring unvaccinated students Mon Mar 11, 2019 11:38 pm | |
| CHESTNUT RIDGE - Parents representing 44 students at the Green Meadow Waldorf School have filed a lawsuit against the Rockland health department and its commissioner challenging an order barring the children from school because they haven't been vaccinated against measles. The lawsuit states that Commissioner Dr. Patricia Schnabel Ruppert's order, imposed during the county's continuing measles outbreak, violates the families' religious objections to vaccinations and is unnecessary because the cases have been largely confined to insular Hasidic Jewish communities. The federal lawsuit filed by 24 plaintiffs states that throughout the measles outbreak that started last fall, no cases have been reported among any of the Chestnut Ridge school's excluded children, their families or in the Fellowship Community that surrounds it.
