A former top vaccine official for the state of Tennessee is suing the health department for defamation.
Dr. Michelle Fiscus has filed a complaint against Tennessee Health Commissioner Dr. Lisa Piercey and Chief Medical Officer Tim Jones.
Fiscus said she was fired in July amid scrutiny from Republican state lawmakers over her department’s outreach efforts to vaccinate teenagers against COVID-19.
A lawsuit was filed Thursday in the U.S. District Court of Middle Tennessee. The complaint says Fiscus has been unable to find work in Tennessee following her termination, and has moved to Virginia to find comparable employment.
Dr. Fiscus served as the Director of the Vaccine Preventable Diseases and Immunization Program for the Tennessee Department of Health, leading the charge on COVID-19 vaccination efforts in the state. She believes the termination may be over a memo she sent encouraging children to get vaccinated.
