Apply for the Honor Roll for Patient Safety
Tell Us about Influenza Vaccination Mandates for Healthcare Workers
IAC is recognizing the stellar examples of influenza vaccination mandates in healthcare settings. According to New York State Health Commissioner Richard Daines, MD, "The rationale begins with the healthcare ethic, which is: The patient's well-being comes ahead of the personal preferences of healthcare workers."

CRITERIA FOR INCLUSION: To be included in the Honor Roll, the mandate you are reporting must require influenza vaccination for employees and must include serious measures to prevent transmission of influenza from unvaccinated workers to patients. Such measures might include a mask requirement, reassignment to non-patient-care duties, or dismissal of the employee.
