In a partial victory for workers challenging Santa Clara County’s vaccination mandate, a federal judge has ruled that the county must treat employees with religious exemptions the same as those with medical or disability exemptions when reassigning them to less risky roles.

Judge Beth Labson Freeman, however, sided with the county in determining that its mandate ordering all employees to get vaccinated —  as well as its much of its process in accommodating those granted exemptions — is likely constitutional.
