Good morning IMLA COVID-19 Working Group: I am passing along a federal court decision dismissing a complaint by hospital employees in Houston that challenged the hospital's mandatory vaccine requirement for its employees. You can read the decision here: https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/20860669-houston-methodist-lawsuit-order-of-dismissal A lot of this is based on Texas state law (wrongful termination as these were at-will employees) but it may be of interest for everyone nevertheless. The plaintiffs have indicated they will appeal.
