[MCOH-EH] Mandatory flu vaccination -- again this year?

[Swift, Melanie, M.D.]

Thanks Joe. And please forgive the glaring typo in one of my quotes - I said it reduces one's chance of getting influenza BY 60%, not TO 60%!!!

Good morning colleagues,

For those facilities with mandatory flu vaccination programs effective in the 2017 immunization season: you may be interested in this CIDRAP article from earlier this year (I didn't see it in the listserv archives):

Health worker flu vaccine data insufficient to show protection for patients<http://www.cidrap.umn.edu/news-perspective/2017/01/health-worker-flu-vaccine-data-insufficient-show-protection-patients>
