Louisiana’s largest health system has been forced by a state appeals court ruling that it must refrain from firing or disciplining employees who refuse a COVID-19 vaccine mandate while the legality of the decision is being challenged.

The ruling by the 2nd Circuit Court of Appeal in Shreveport came on Thursday ahead of the healthcare provider’s Friday deadline.
