Should healthcare workers be required to be vaccinated for the flu?

The most vulnerable people in our society need health workers.

People with chronic diseases, elderly people and infants all come into contact with healthcare workers constantly. These are the same people who are at the greatest risk of death or serious consequences from the flu.

Whether or not to get a flu shot is either an individual choice or it is a community requirement. It a choice between professional and community standards or individual workers rights.

This poll has been generated by The Immunisation Initiative. We are committed to encouraging everyone who can to get their flu shot this year and every year. By doing so we can all participate in protecting the vulnerable in our families and in our communities. Vaccination works for everyone.

Please pledge to get your flu shot this year. You can find the pledge at http://www.causes.com/causes/787378-the-immunization-initiative/actions/1664769.

Thank you for your participation.
