Since the troll attacks since last night, I think it is important that we remind folks why we are here. Nurses are not being forced to have mandatory vaccinations because of patient safety or to protect their patients. Nurses and other healthcare workers are being forced to have mandatory vaccines because if the hospital systems can not proved that they have a 90% or higher vaccination rate, they will lose Medicare/Medicaid funding. hhs.gov/ash/initiatives/hai/hcpflu.html If we were told the truth about these mandatory vaccine policies, that would be one thing. We are continually lied to, and the truth is not given. Our organization exists because no one person should be forced to have a medical procedure in order to keep their job. We are not here to fight necessarily over efficacy, and we do not address childhood vaccines. We are here to help the working man/woman keep his or her job and to be able to refuse forced medical procedures.
