SYRACUSE, N.Y. \u2014 The New York State Department of Health is \u201cexploring its options\u201d after a state Supreme Court judge struck down a statewide mandate requiring healthcare workers to be vaccinated against COVID-19, the agency said Saturday.<\/p>\n

Judge Gerard Neri wrote in a ruling released Friday that Democratic Gov. Kathy Hochul and the health department overstepped their authority by mandating a vaccine that’s not included in state public health law, the Syracuse Post-Standard reported.<\/p>\n

The mandate is “null, void, and of no effect,\u201d the judge said. He sided with Medical Professionals for Informed Consent, a group of medical workers impacted by the vaccination mandate.<\/p>\n

The mandate protects people most at-risk for serious symptoms and the people who care for them, the health agency said in a statement to The Associated Press.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe requirement is a critical public health tool,” the agency said. \u201cThe State Health Department strongly disagrees with the judge\u2019s decision and is exploring its options.\u201d<\/p>\n
