NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) â After the Tennessee Department of Health released the personnel report of Dr. Michelle Fiscus, the former top state vaccine official responded in eight pages.
The TDH memo, sent as a recommendation for termination to Dr. Lisa Piercey, TDH Commissioner, listed poor leadership and inability to work with others as justification for the firing. However, annual evaluations of Dr. Fiscus contradict the memo.
Though NewsChannel5 requested the personnel file formally from TDH, omitted from the documents sent were annual evaluations.
