The child, labeled L.P. in the original complaint, was vaccinated at a November 2021 clinic hosted by the Windham Southeast School District and the Vermont Department of Health. L.P. was a student at the district's Academy School at the time.

L.P.'s father told a school official days prior to the clinic the child was not to be vaccinated, court documents say. The school official acknowledged the father's directive, according to Friday's ruling.

Clinic workers gave L.P. one dose of the Pfizer vaccine after the child was mistakenly given a name tag reading the name of another student, according to the ruling. The second student had allegedly already received a vaccination earlier that day.
