Fury has erupted over a nurse being fired from a hospital after asking not to receive the flu vaccine for religious reasons. Mercy South Hospital in St. Louis, Missouri, confirmed at least one employee has been dismissed for violating a policy requiring staff to have mandatory flu shots, according to the Associated Press.
The unidentified nurse finished work at the hospital on Nov. 26, sparking a protest outside the very next day, protest coordinator and friend of the nurse Nelia Aubuchon told NTD on Nov. 29.
