A ban on unvaccinated children from public places in Rockland County, New York, was put on hold by a state judge
on Friday.
The controversial ban went into effect late last month in an effort to contain an outbreak of measles that began in October. Nearly 170 cases have been confirmed in the county.Judge Rolf Thorsen scheduled a hearing for April 19 and said the county is temporarily blocked from enforcing the ban."And petitioners' children are hereby permitted to return to their respective schools forthwith and otherwise to assemble in public places," he wrote.
Children who are current with the vaccine schedule but not fully vaccinated against measles because they are not old enough are exempt from the order.The order does not apply to people who are older than 18 so that residents can go to work but unvaccinated adults are also encouraged to get vaccinated, according to county officials. Nearly 17,000 vaccinations have been administered in the county during the outbreak.
