Mandatory flu vaccinations come home to roost…

…home to roost in my own state, that is. It seems that right here in New York State:

A New York State health authority has adopted a regulation that mandates every health care worker in the state to be vaccinated against influenza…The policy will effect all healthcare workers, including volunteers, that have any contact with patients whether it be in hospitals, treatment centers, home care programs or hospices.

The ruling discounts any exemption from immunization for religious or cultural preferences.”

And here I thought mandatory flu vaccinations were going to be “all Greek” to me.
