Wisconsin DOT does not require.  I am not aware of any local hospitals mandating the monovalent vaccine for their employees.  All mandate influenza, and we do for all of our employees, including remote workers.  We are recommending COVID vaccine and it is offered at no cost in our workplace clinics and through insurance in our retail pharmacies.  We are not providing it through our employee health department.  From what we have seen, employee requests in our workplace clinics have been minimal thus far.

Our system is reevaluating their approach to covid vaccination mandate. 

The RIDOH is being vague about mandating being up to date and leaving it to each institution to determine want it wants to do. 

Do you still mandate the covid vaccine to work within your institution? We are not requiring

Do you mandate the influenza vaccine? Yes, the flu vaccine for HCW is legislated in NJ

If yes does it apply to all employees including remote employees? All employees, volunteers, physicians, and contracted staff

Do you require ppe if not vaccinated or just patient facing? No

Do you require ppe for all employees during peak respiratory illness season? We have a tiered process for PPE/masking; the triggers are based on community spread, positive employee illness, etc. 

As always

Thank you

Charlie
