Texas Doctor Who Was Fired For Distributing Expiring COVID Vaccine Doses Sues County
HuffPost
Dr. Hasan Gokal said he didn't want any doses to go to waste. Harris County called it theft.
Dr. Hasan Gokal, the Houston-area doctor who was fired after public health officials accused him of taking a vial of COVID-19 vaccine for his personal use, is suing Harris County Public Health for wrongful termination after the charges against him were dropped.
HCPH officials accused Gokal of stealing a vial of the Moderna vaccine on Dec. 29 and giving the doses to friends and family members.
An investigation by the Texas Medical Board cleared him of the allegations, finding the doctor had properly distributed expiring doses of an already-opened vial to at-risk patients. Multiple attempts by the Harris County District Attorney to bring charges against Gokal also fell flat.
