Most children's hospital workers support mandatory flu vaccinations.
The Los Angeles Times (1/5, Kaplan) "Booster Shots" blog reports that a recent study has found that out of 585 workers surveyed at a large tertiary children's hospital, "only 70% thought vaccination for influenza should be required." The findings, published in the Archives of Pediatric and Adolescent Medicine, also determined that "the workers who opposed mandatory flu shots were more likely to be against mandatory vaccines of any kind." The survey was "conducted during the 2008-2009 flu season, so the current outbreak of H1N1 swine flu...probably didn't factor into people's responses."
