Good afternoon,

WVUH is revisiting the topic of mandatory flu vaccinations.  Currently, we do not have a mandatory requirement, but are considering doing so.  Therefore, we are hoping to gather any information that may be helpful.

Does your organization require mandatory Flu Vaccinations?

· If yes, what was/is the reasoning/justification for doing so?

· When/How long have you had a mandatory requirement?

· How do you handle employees who refuse the vaccination without proper medical validation to not receive?

· What pushback/challenges have you received and how did you handle them?

Thank You.

Sincerely,

Kymberly Gillespie
