When is it my responsibility to get vaccinated against H1N1? Even as the H1N1 pandemic gains momentum, federal officials stress that no one is required to be vaccinated, and everyone who wants to be vaccinated against H1N1 will eventually receive vaccine.
But public institutions face a different and difficult question, especially now that the H1N1 pandemic has been declared a national emergency: What is their responsibility with regard to vaccination of their workers who serve the public during pandemic? And, what personal responsibility do workers have to be vaccinated?
This forum will explore these issues through case studies involving the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania HUP) and Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP): two ey health care institutions which recently instituted mandates or seasonal flu vaccination for their health care workers. The forum will also explore how these examples can inform hinking at other public institutions – such as museums, ibraries, and schools – that serve some of the very populations considered most at risk.
