Supreme Court justice Sonia Sotomayor axes appeal of NYC school vaccine plan

with Sotomayor on Thursday, in an effort to keep the mandate from going into effect Friday.

Under the mandate rules, the roughly 148,000 school employees had until 5 p.m. Friday to get at least their first vaccine shot. Those who didn't face suspension without pay when schools open on Monday. In a statement, Georgia Pestana, the city's corporation counsel, said, "We are gratified by Justice Sotomayor's decision. She made the right call on the law and in the best interest of students and educators."

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.
