Maine Court Rules Against Family of Child Vaccinated Without Parents’ Consent at School
The Maine Supreme Judicial Court has upheld a lower court ruling that school medical staff who gave a COVID-19 vaccine to a minor without obtaining parental consent cannot be held liable. The court ruled that school medical staff were protected under the Public Readiness and Emergency Preparedness Act (PREP Act).
The lawsuit challenged the PREP Act’s liability shield. But he Maine Superior Court dismissed the lawsuit, finding that the PREP Act granted immunity to the defendants. The parents appealed and the court sided with the school.
