Houston physician Dr. Mary Talley Bowden offered to write medical exemptions for medical students studying in Texas teaching hospitals that mandate the COVID-19 vaccine.

“I will write a medical exemption for any student in Texas facing this mandate — free of charge,” Bowden wrote in a post on X. “If they deny my exemption, I will help you find a lawyer and raise money to sue them,” she added.

Five teaching hospitals in Texas – including Houston Methodist – require all students to get a Covid shot in order to do rotations at their hospital.
