The Connecticut Supreme Court ruled Tuesday that the state's child welfare agency cannot vaccinate children placed temporarily in its custody when the parents object. The lower court ruling was put on hold pending the appeal to the Supreme Court. The agency filed neglect allegations against the parents, and a judge granted DCF temporary custody of the children. The children remain in temporary state custody. Laws on vaccinating children in temporary state custody vary around the country.
