[MCOH-EH] Mandatory Flu Policy

[Thrasher, Terri]

At Cincinnati Childrens the flu vaccine is mandatory.
We give approx. 8 weeks to receive the vaccine.  If not completed by the deadline you get a warning and you have a week to complete it.   If not complete in a week you get suspended for 2 weeks..  If not completed in 2 weeks you are termed.
We do give warnings to our MD's but we do not suspend them.   However we do terminate them if they do not comply.
We accept declination if demonstrated allergy to vaccine component other than egg.
We accept declination for GBS if they have a documented date of the flu vaccine and GBS diagnosed within 6 weeks of that flu shot.
We do not use masks... it becomes too much of a burden to try to manage it so its effective.

List,
My hospital is making the transition to mandatory flu vaccination. Would anyone be willing to share your policy for disciplinary action and how you enforce it, especially for physicians? Also, do you require mask compliance for those who are not immunized? Do you require vaccination by Dec. 1st, Dec. 15th, Jan 1st?

Thank you!
Kanchan
