We are doing the same.  Flu vaccines, or formal education and declination, for all staff.

Be well,

        External Email - Use Caution       

I am curious about the opinions from members who work in large hospital systems and any policies that either require or don't require immunizations (flu, MMR, etc) of their remote workers. My concern would be how we could effectively  monitor if the employee is working completely remotely or transfers to an on-site position. Thoughts?
