SEPTEMBER 25 2009
New York State has started a trend MANDATORY influenza vaccination for health care workers. Period. End of story. No questions asked.
ALL health care workers in the State of New York MUST be vaccinated by November 30th or they will be fired.
What's worse is that this change was not proposed by a member of the Senate or the Assembly or even a member of the public. It was brought forward by the State Hospital Reviews and Planning Council and the Commissioner of Health and was quietly adopted as an "emergency" in August.
The Health Care Personnel Influenza Vaccination Requirements can be found in the Official Compilation of Codes, Rules and Regulations of the State of New York.
And New York healthcare workers are RED HOT!
New York Healthcare Workers and The New York Liberty Council are sponsoring a rally in OPPOSITION to the mandate.
WHEN: Tuesday, September 29, 2009 from 10:00am to 1:00pm
WHERE: The East Capitol Park in front of the Capitol Building, State St. in Albany, New York.
