We also are not accepting self administered flu mist. Very difficult to
assure dose compliance. when self administered Our ID and IP and C don’t
want flu mist at all because of potential risk of viral transmission to
immunocompromised patients or those in the NICU. We’re concerned with
increasing vaccine hesitancy masquerading as religious exemption request
and we’re struggling with getting ahead of it. We’ve seen more over the
last few years. I’m pretty sure the EEOC carves out patient safety as a
reason to accommodate but keeping hcw away from patients during flu season
sounds a “no go” from operational perspective. Requiring masking from a
transmission perspective works but managing compliance is a nightmare. How
are others handling??
