An appeals court has backed efforts to vaccinate children without parental consent by shielding those who force kids to take Covid shots.
A North Carolina Court of Appeals issued the ruling in the case of a clinic, where personnel gave a 14-year-old boy a Covid mRNA shot without consent from the child or his parents.
The mother of the boy sued the Guilford County school board and Old North State Medical Society over her teenage son’s forced COVID-19 vaccination in 2021.

However, appellate judges agreed that a federal law protected both defendants from legal liability.
The court ruled that the Public Readiness and Emergency Preparedness Act (PREP Act) protected the clinic and its staff.
Additionally, the court concluded that the Guilford Board of Education, which hosted the clinic, was also covered by the PREP Act.
In August 2021, 14-year-old Tanner Smith was a Western Guilford High School football player.
His family learned in a letter from the Guilford schools that he might have been affected by a COVID-19 “cluster” involving the team.
He would not be allowed to return to practice until getting a Covid test.
Free testing would be provided at Northwest Guilford High School.
Smith’s stepfather drove him to the testing site and waited outside. The teenager was asked to fill out a form while a clinic worker tried unsuccessfully to contact his mother, Emily Happel. The clinic was providing COVID-19 vaccine shots along with testing.
Judge April Wood wrote:
“After failing to make contact with Tanner’s mother, one of the workers instructed the other worker to ‘give it to him anyway.’
