Health Field Workers Upset by Mandatory Flu Inoculation Rules
The call for health care workers to get inoculated against the latest expected flu viruses is an annual event, happening just about this time every year, at the beginning of flu season. Health care providers are exposed to thousands of already vulnerable patients whose immune systems may be compromised, so it makes sense that they should be urged to take all the precautions they can to avoid infecting their charges. About 50% (give or take) generally opt not to.
Normally, health care workers are allowed to decide for themselves whether they will get a flu shot, but this year is different. One state has made inoculation against the H1N1 and other strains of flu mandatory, and several hospital systems have done the same. Those personnel who would have voluntarily gotten the inoculation may have few beefs with these policies, but many of those who would have chosen not to do so ' along with other groups and individuals who see the new rules as an impingement on personal liberty ' are up in arms.
