A Vancouver pharmacist who had worked at London Drugs for 16 years is suing her former employer, alleging that the retail chain wrongfully dismissed her for not getting vaccinated for COVID-19.

On Nov. 1, 2021, Lina Reid was placed “on an unpaid leave of absence for an undetermined length of time because she was not fully vaccinated and did not consent to COVID-19 Testing,” according to her lawsuit filed in the B.C. Supreme Court.
