abstract

Access this abstract nowAlmost 15 years have passed since hospitals first began mandating influenza vaccines for health care workers. This initially innovative but now common policy was prompted by a dual desire to protect patients from healthcare–acquired influenza and to protect the workplace from the disruption and expense of worker illnesses. Health care organizations are now wrestling with whether to mandate SARS-CoV-2 vaccination for all employees. We believe that the case for mandating SARS-CoV-2 vaccines for health care workers is substantially stronger than the case was for mandating T influenza vaccines.
