[MCOH-EH] Mandatory Immunization Program

[Angeli Mancuso]

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.

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.
