Case Result: Religious Exemption Granted for Florida Dentist

Professional:
Dentist

Primary issue:
A Florida Dentist was thrilled to be offered a teaching position at a local medical school. However, the medical school had enforced a COVID vaccine requirement. Our client was seeking a religious exemption from the vaccine mandate.

Argument:
Regulatory attorney John C. Cardello began by reviewing the medical school’s COVID policy and exemptions, along with statements from our client and her religious leader, to assist in crafting an exemption request letter. He also researched emergency rules and statutes surrounding COVID within the state of Florida, specifically citing Fla. Stat. § 381.00317 and Fla. Stat. § 760.10(1)(a) to support our client’s request for religious exemption.

Result:
After submitting her request to the medical school, our client’s religious exemption was successfully obtained without condition.

Areas of Law:
