CINCINNATI — An 18-year-old Catholic high school student who has not been vaccinated against chickenpox filed a lawsuit last week against the Northern Kentucky Health Department.
On March 14, the Northern Kentucky Health Department instructed students without proof of vaccination or immunity against chickenpox to not attend school in order to"prevent further spread of this illness."More: Facts alone don't sway anti-vaxxers. So what does? The lawsuit cites Kentucky law that allows for emergency immunizations during a given epidemic and allows for the implementation of"rules and regulations as it deems efficient in preventing the introduction or spread of such infectious or contagious disease."
"Without definitive evidence of immunity, a person could be a source of potential exposure, even if they are currently healthy. It’s impossible to know how anyone will react to chickenpox, therefore we must act with an abundance of caution," the official wrote, according to the suit. "Chickenpox ... can be a very serious illness that is especially dangerous for infants and pregnant women or anyone who has a weakened immune system," the statement continued."The recent actions taken by the Northern Kentucky Health Department regarding the chickenpox outbreak at Our Lady of the Sacred Heart/Assumption Academy was in direct response to a public health threat and was an appropriate and necessary response to prevent further spread of this infectious illness.
Just go get the chicken pox then. Crisis over. 🤷🏽♀️
So we can so unvaccinated students/parents for infecting students? Nice precedence.
