Wear a Mask or Stay Away: Hospitals Flu Shot Rule

In recent years, the flu shot has become an important part of healthcare, preventing individuals from contracting the virus and protecting those around them.

Hospitals have implemented rules for those who choose not to get vaccinated, requiring them to wear masks when near patients. While some may view this as an inconvenience, it's important to remember that these rules are in place to keep everyone safe and healthy.

By preventing the spread of illness, we can all do our part in creating a healthier community.

Houston Hospital Suspends 178 Employees for Refusing the Vaccine (Video)

This is a follow-up to a blog post in May about some hospital employees suing their hospital for requiring all employees to get the COVID-19 vaccine. 

Fast forward to today, and those employees plus others who refused the vaccine have been suspended. 

In this video, I'll share my thoughts on this Houston hospital suspending 178 employees with no pay for 2 weeks. 

Should I Take the Flu Shot as a Unit Secretary? (Video)

Should you take the flu shot as a Unit Secretary? It is ultimately up to you, but you must be prepared for the consequences if you do not.

If the hospital that you work at requires it and you refuse to take the shot, then you might be out of a job (some places may require you to wear a mask while you’re in the hospital).

If you have religious or health objections, you may be able to circumvent it, but it’s strictly a case-by-case situation.

So, decide long and hard what you want to do.
