On June 7, 2024, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled in favor of LAUSD employees in a case against the Los Angeles United School District's COVID-19 vaccine mandate.

The court determined that the mandate cannot compel individuals to receive a vaccine that only mitigates symptoms and does not prevent virus transmission.

The court criticized LAUSD's tactics and highlighted the misapplication of legal precedent.

This decision emphasizes the importance of individual rights and bodily sovereignty in medical treatment decisions.

The case is sent back to the district court for further proceedings and will now proceed to trial at the District Court level.
