We currently do not have a mandatory program for any vaccines besides flu. However, the topic comes up about 1x/year and it’s back up now. Specifically regarding our childcare center employees and MMR/V and Tdap vaccines or proof of immunity. Other departments that have considered mandatory vaccination in the past include Peds, mother/infant and PICU.

 

I’d be interested in what others do as well.

Subject: [MCOH-EH] Mandatory Immunization Program

 

What are other facilities’ policy on vaccinations, specifically TdaP?  Does your facility mandate all employees receive the TdaP every 10 years or just certain areas (L&D, Nursery, Pediatrics, ED, etc…) and are they allowed to decline?  We currently do not have a mandatory immunization program, however the topic arose at a board meeting with the OB’s attending our hospital.
