Get flu shots
Posted by: admin : Category: Pharmacy news
In an attempt to keep health-care workers from spreading the flu to already ill patients, Loyola University Health System is requiring all of its 7,825 employees to get a seasonal flu shot, officials said.
But Loyola will not mandate immunization against swine flu, since that vaccine is in short supply.
Sixty percent of Loyola’s employees got their flu shots in 2007, better than the national average. The hospital and its clinics are believed to be the first in the state to mandate flu shots for employees.
It’s a controversial move, since some health-care workers consider it a violation of their rights to be forced to get the vaccine.
