USA Health requires all personnel to have the flu vaccine or possess an approved exception as a condition of employment or access to patients. Employee health managers say the goal is to get all staff vaccinated by Nov. 1.
Benjamin Estrada, M.D., professor and vice chair of pediatrics and an infectious disease specialist at USA Health, has said that, because of the COVID-19 pandemic, getting the influenza vaccine this year is “more important than ever.”
