Ex-deputy sues Durham Co. sheriff over vaccine mandate
DURHAM (AP) A former North Carolina deputy is suing a sheriff over his requirement for employees to get a COVID-19 vaccine.
Christopher Neve, the former Durham County deputy, is asking a court to force Sheriff Clarence Birkhead to reinstate him with back pay and to rule that vaccine mandates are unconstitutional, The Herald-Sun of Durham reported Friday.
The lawsuit, filed in April in federal court, argues that mandating a vaccine that has only emergency authorization from the Food and Drug Administration and not formal approval violates federal law.
The Durham County Sheriff’s Office declined to comment Friday, citing the ongoing litigation.
