Five parents in New York City (NYC) on Monday filed a lawsuit against the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene over the recent emergency vaccination order, saying the order lacks sufficient evidence of the measles outbreak and violates legal religious exemptions.
The order was issued last Tuesday in response to a measles outbreak affecting more than 250 NYC residents living in the Williamsburg neighborhood since September.
