Case: Discrimination/Religious Accommodation (D. Md.)

A Maryland federal district court granted summary judgment to Sheppard Pratt Health Systems, Inc. on a staff nurse’s religious discrimination claim under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, finding that accommodating her religious exemption from Covid-19 vaccination would impose an undue hardship because her patient-facing role required close contact with medically vulnerable psychiatric patients, and allowing her to remain unvaccinated would significantly increase health risks to patients and staff at the residential treatment facility.
