The news and stories that matter, delivered weekday mornings.NEW YORK — Opponents of New York City's emergency declaration ordering everyone in a heavily Orthodox Jewish neighborhood to be vaccinated for measles will file a lawsuit this week, a lawyer working with the group said Wednesday.
Sussman also represented a group of parents in suburban Rockland County who challenged the county executive's order barring unvaccinated children from indoor public spaces. A state judge sided with the parents and issued a preliminary injunction against the emergency order last week. Some 285 measles cases have been identified in New York City since last fall, compared to two in all of 2017. There have been 168 cases reported in Rockland since the fall.
"This is a public health emergency," the Democratic mayor said."And the reason the city government is empowered in a public health emergency is to save lives."
