PHILADELPHIA - An August decision by a Philadelphia judge affirmed a Mercy Fitzgerald Hospital's right to fire an employee who refused a flu shot as it was determined the employee's denial wasn't based on religion.Meanwhile, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission has alleged a health care provider in Massachusetts (Baystate Medical Center) has violated federal law by firing an employee who refused to receive a flu shot, wear a mask or arrange to take leave.A complicated, murky and controversial area of the law, legal complaints in which employees assert employers violated their constitutional right to religious freedom are increasing, attorney Kevin Troutman, a Fisher Phillips partner in Houston, told the Pennsylvania Record.

PEOPLE deemed at high risk of flu should not be fooled by the balmy September temperatures and need to ensure they are vaccinated against the virus as soon as possible.That's the message from public health officials, who are extending the warning ahead of the winter flu season.Although very common and considered by some to be nothing major, flu can prove deadly to very young children, pregnant women, or those over 65 years of age or over 6 months of age who have an existing illness or health condition such as asthma, diabetes or heart disease.
