Maine Father Challenges Vaccination Mandate | Portland Maine News

A Maine father is fighting to keep his 12-year-old son in school amid a legal battle over vaccination mandates, claiming religious freedom is being violated. The boy, unvaccinated since sixth grade, faces expulsion unless he complies with state laws requiring shots like Tdap and meningococcal — laws that recently stripped away religious exemptions. The parent’s legal team, backed by We The Patriots USA, vows to take the case to the Supreme Court if needed, while state officials argue vaccines are essential for public safety. A judge’s decision on a temporary restraining order could decide whether the boy stays in class — or if this showdown escalates into a national debate over parental rights versus public health.
