[MCOH-EH] Mandatory Flu Vaccinations

[Davis, Sue]

We require mandatory action (either get shot, provide proof or sign decline) by 12/31 or raise is delayed 90 days.  For those that decline they have to wear a mask.

We went from 68% to 97% with the mandatory masking.

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
