LAS CRUCES - While a challenge to Doña Ana County s COVID-19 vaccine mandate for its employees awaits action in federal court, rulings in other states have upheld vaccine requirements by employers and educational institutions, the latest coming from Indiana.
Two former Doña Ana County Detention Center officers Isaac Legaretta and Anthony Zoccoli, plus unnamed plaintiffs are suing the county over a January mandate that first-responders and certain other employees receive a COVID-19 vaccination as a condition of employment.
Since then, the county has instituted a requirement that all new employees be vaccinated against the disease as well.
