Mandatory Immunization of Health Care Providers: The Time Has Come (Editorial)
Published: 2006"Past generations of HCPs have cared for people suffering not from chronic, uncommunicable diseases, but rather from infectious diseases that put these HCPs and their families at risk. Health professionals who practised in the era before immunization controlled many infectious diseases saw it as their professional duty to provide care, notwithstanding the risk. Today, by contrast, not only do 40-75% of HCPs in acute care settings eschew influenza immunization,3 some also argue their personal rights when refusing a safe and effective measure that both protects their patients and confers a benefit – rather than risk – to themselves." - Mandatory Immunization of Health Care Providers: The Time Has Come (Editorial)
