Good morning.
Our health system had historically allowed employees to opt out of receiving the flu shot and mask.
In 2022 they decided that any new employee would need to be vaccinated against the flu unless there was a medical exemption.
They allowed the employees that were hired prior to 2022 to continue to be able to opt out.
Our head of HR would like to allow employees to opt out and not have it mandated.
EOHS is pushing back with data and enthusiasm.
What is your policy for the flu shot?
Is it mandated for all employees?
Is it mandated for patient facing employees?
Thanks
Charlie
