A Kentucky high school senior is suing the local Health Department after it banned him and other unvaccinated students from attending school.

Jerome Kunkel is claiming religious discrimination, saying his refusal to be vaccinated for chickenpox is due to his Christian faith. His father claimed that the chickenpox vaccine was made with “aborted fetuses”.

Last week, the Northern Kentucky Health Department announced the ban as the area deals with a chickenpox outbreak that has affected 32 people so far.
