Mother sues DeVos Children’s Hospital over COVID-19 vaccine requirement for girl’s kidney transplant
GRAND RAPIDS, MI – The mother of a teen who needs a kidney transplant is suing Helen DeVos Children’s Hospital over its policy that transplant patients be vaccinated against COVID-19. The lawsuit asks a judge to issue permanent injunction barring Spectrum Health from requiring the girl, 17, to receive the COVID-19 vaccine – and other vaccinations – before she is evaluated for a kidney transplant. Due to patient privacy concerns, we are unable to discuss specific patient situations,” Spectrum Health said in a statement to MLive/The Grand Rapids Press. Jenna Campau of Fennville filed the lawsuit Friday, May 13, in U.S. District Court in Grand Rapids. The lawsuit states doctors have determined that the girl, identified by initials, A.C., will need a kidney transplant.
