If you want to be a healthcare worker, or keep your current job as one, then you better be OK with getting the flu vaccine each year; that’s according to a relatively new requirement now being mandated in many states across the U.S.
Hospital employees are being forced to receive annual flu shots as part of a policy that’s mandated based on funding requirements for medical reimbursements through Medicare and Medicaid, as part of the Affordable Health Care Act.
The Affordable Health Care Act, paraded into legislation by Obama, requires “healthcare facilities to have a high compliance rate of employees receiving the flu vaccine,” as reported by HealthImpactNews.com.
However, some nurses are fighting back. One group of nurses from Grand Rapids, Michigan, created an organization in 2012 devoted to fighting mandatory vaccination policies in the workplace. Nurses Against Mandatory Vaccines (NAMV) isn’t entirely anti-vaccines, but supports pro-choice when it comes to vaccinations.
“We believe that all persons should have the right to choose and refuse medical treatment; that means nurses and healthcare workers alike,” according to the group’s mission statement.
“NAMV does not support mandatory vaccination policies for healthcare workers of any kind. We are here to stand up and fight back against this policy and procedure, and to fight back against the vaccine companies who clearly lobbied for this law ONLY to pad their own pockets.”
