Interesting, I have many family members who work in healthcare and all who are in regular contact with patients are required, by hospital policy, to get the flu vaccine annually. They would not be allowed to clock in if they don't get vaccinated as its determined to be a risk to the patients (the Dr or nurse can easily become typhoid mary).
