The U.S. Supreme Court on Monday rejected emergency requests by two groups of New York health care workers seeking to block enforcement of the state’s mandatory COVID-19 vaccine requirement because of their religious objections.

The two denials continued a trend in the court of denying attempts to bar vaccine mandates by those raising religious, due process and equal protection arguments. The justices earlier turned down three other requests by a group of New York public school employees, a group of employees of a Massachusetts health care system, and private employees challenging Maine’s mandate.
