A federal judge is allowing Minnesota health systems' COVID-19 employee vaccine mandates to remain in effect, saying dozens of health care workers who sued hadn't met a high legal bar to block them.

Minnesota healthcare workers filed a lawsuit against their employers to halt a pending requirement that they get the vaccine or be fired.

The lawsuit was filed late Monday, Sept. 27, in U.S. District Court against federal health officials and about 20 Minnesota health care providers that operate hospitals and clinics throughout the state. It contends that the lack of alternatives to vaccination infringes on the rights of those employees, who range from doctors and nurses to respiratory therapists and technicians.

Nearly 200 Minnesota health care workers are suing their employers in federal court, asking a judge to block COVID-19 vaccine mandates from taking effect within days.

For months, the union representing Minnesota nurses has begged the public to wear masks and get vaccinated against COVID-19 to reduce the strain on hospital workers.
