Medical associations representing hundreds of thousands of doctors, medical professionals and scientists in the United States are suing the leaders of US health agencies for limiting who can get Covid-19 vaccines and for undermining overall vaccine confidence.

The lawsuit, filed Monday in US District Court in Massachusetts, was brought by the American Academy of Pediatrics, the American College of Physicians, the American Public Health Association, the Infectious Diseases Society of America, the Massachusetts Public Health Association D/B/A the Massachusetts Public Health Alliance, the Society for Maternal-Fetal Medicine and an unnamed doctor who is pregnant and fears that she will be unable to get the Covid-19 vaccine.

“Our clients are not litigious organizations. They don’t want to be in court, and certainly we do not like that we’re in the position of having to sue the secretary of Health and Human Services, our nation’s chief health officer. So this is a position that I don’t think they want to be in, but it’s necessary,” Richard Hughes, lead counsel for the plaintiffs, said at a news conference Monday, calling the lawsuit “unprecedented.”
