Louisiana U.S. District Judge Terry Doughty blocked a federal COVID-19 vaccine mandate for health care workers Tuesday.
The ruling by Judge Doughty follows Missouri US District Judge Matthew Schelp's ruling on Monday that blocked mandates in 10 states.
A federal court has issued a nationwide injunction protecting health care workers across the country from Joe Biden's COVID vaccine mandate.
Yesterday, in response to a multi-state lawsuit led by Missouri, a federal court barred the Biden administration from enforcing a vaccine mandate for health care workers in 10 states who are employed at federally-funded health care clinics.
Today, a federal court in Louisiana expanded on that ruling and blocked the vaccine mandate nationwide.
Louisiana Western District U.S. Judge Terry Doughty's decision follows an identical ruling Monday from Missouri U.S. District Judge Matthew Schelp, but Schelp's decision only covered 10 states.
Doughty ruled on the lawsuit led by Republican Louisiana Attorney General Jeff Landry and joined by 13 other states, but Doughty added a nationwide injunction in his ruling.
