Nurses are you required by your employer to get a flu vaccine?Is it mandatory for your job?We were reading that Health Officials in Colorado State want all their hospital and nursing home employees to be vaccinated with no religious or personal exemptions. They state that patient safety outweighs personal choice. Should it be a law that a healthcare worker be vaccinated?
According to the CDC’s August report there were than a third of U.S. health care employees that did not get vaccinated last flu season. Research shows that the staffs that are not vaccinated have a decent chance of getting the flu and passing that infection on to at-risk patients. They could pass the flu to dozens of patients. The flu kills thousands of people each year in the United States.Why do so many nurses and healthcare workers not get vaccinated? What do they know? Is it because of the limited risks involved or that they don’t believe it is effective enough? About 13% of healthcare workers are mandatorily required to get vaccinated. But is that the way to go in this free country of ours to make it mandatory?Some hospitals require those that don’t get vaccinated to wear surgical masks throughout the flu season and even if they don’t work directly with patients. The mask policy, for example, did increase the uptake of the vaccine from 70 to 96 percent at one Massachusetts hospital, The Boston Globe reported in 2011. Would you want to be forced to wear a surgical mask if you did not believe in getting the vaccine?We would love to know if you are required to get vaccinated where you work or not.
