Restrict health care employee flu shot mandates

Introduced in the Senate

June 14, 2012

Introduced by Sen. Joe Hune (R-22)

To prohibit health care facilities or agencies from mandating that an employee must get a vaccination as a condition of employment if the person states in writing that he or she conscientiously objects or has religious objections. This would not apply in the event of a World Health Organization “Phase 6 alert” (such as the flu alert declared in 2009).

Referred to the Committee on Health Policy
