More than 100 current and former employees of Houston Methodist are suing the medical system for mandating that employees get vaccinated against COVID-19 or face termination.
Houston Methodist, a seven-hospital system, is being charged with wrongful discharge and violating a federal law dictating "that where a medical product is 'unapproved' then no one may be mandated to take it," according to the lawsuit, shared with
MedPage Today by the employees' joint attorney.
The 117 plaintiffs say they have been "adversely and irrevocably harmed by the illegal policy" and are asking for a temporary injunction against firings related to the vaccine policy, and requesting a declaration to invalidate the policy altogether.
