State Bar Passes Mandatory COVID-19 Vaccination Recommendation
Mary Beth Morrissey, chair of the bar association’s Health Law Section’s Task Force on COVID-19, said in a statement after the vote on Saturday, “The authority of the state to respond to a public health crisis is well-established in constitutional law.”
The New York State Bar Association on Saturday passed a resolution urging the state to consider making it mandatory for all New Yorkers to undergo COVID-19 vaccination when a vaccine becomes available, even if people object to it for “religious, philosophical or personal reasons.”
