Former Tennessee BlueCross BlueShield employee, Tanja Benton, was awarded nearly $700,000 in backpay and damages by a grand jury after she refused to take the company’s mandated COVID-19 vaccine, court filings show.
A federal jury in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Tennessee found last week the insurance company owes Benton $687,240 after she was let go from her position as a biostatistical research scientist.
