We have a mandatory policy and employees who have an approved religious or medical exemption are required to wear masks when they are in patient care areas. The employee signs a masking agreement with their supervisor at the time the exemption is approved. The signed masking agreement is kept in their department file and managers are accountable for monitoring compliance.

We have a mandatory policy for flu vaccinations, but we allow staff to decline and wear a facemask in patient care areas to meet compliance.

Our organization has a mandatory flu vaccination policy.  Employees who are vaccinated have a sticker on their badge denoting that they have received the vaccine.  Managers are also sent lists of outstanding employees who need to be vaccinated on a periodic basis.

What are your organizations doing to help managers identify who has or has not had a flu vaccine? At this time we are not mandatory but they have to wear a mask if they decline.
