The Louisiana Supreme Court has reinstated a vaccine mandate at one of the state’s largest hospital systems.
the court ruled on Friday that Ochsner has the right to fire its employees for failure to comply with the COVID-19 vaccine mandate, reinstating the decision after a court of appeals suspended the mandate.filed separate suits challenging Ochsner’s vaccine mandateThe hospital agreed to pause the mandate while the case quickly made its way through the courts.
But the state’s high court says that’s not the case because there is no doctor/patient relationship between Ochsner and its employees. Because those workers are what’s called “at-will employees,” the hospital can fire anyone refusing to get the shot and not violate their privacy. Friday’s landmark ruling now opens the doors for other employers across the state to mandate COVID-19 vaccines for their workforce.Warner Thomas, president and CEO of Ochsner Health”We are pleased with the unanimous decision today from the Louisiana Supreme Court upholding the legality of Ochsner Health’s vaccination requirement.
