The New York State Department of Health recently passed emergency
regulations requiring all
healthcare personnel working in hospital and nursing homes to receive mandatory influenza vaccinations or face termination of employment.
I am a vaccine advocate and believe that vaccinations have decreased and in some cases eradicated some infectious illnesses. I do, however, worry about the mandate aspect of this law and how it will be truly be enforced.
What do you think? Good idea? Cutting-edge? Violation of privacy? I'd love to hear your thoughts.
