Article Source: Medscape Family MedicineCDC did an abrupt about face and announced that it would not endorse mandatory influenza vaccination for healthcare workers.
"The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) announced on June 22, 2010 that it would not endorse mandatory influenza vaccination for healthcare workers.
"The CDC now recommends (surgical) face masks instead of the N-95 respirators for healthcare workers during all contact with influenza patients. This represents a welcome change in CDC policy and follows the same recommendation previously made by the Association of Professionals in Infection Control, the Infectious Diseases Society of America, and the Society for Healthcare Epidemiology of America."
This is a stunning reversal of previous intent by the CDC and is a direct result of our vigorous and continued push back, giving the totalitarian (and scientifically unfounded) public "health" concept of mandatory vaccination to provide "Herd Immunity" a serious setback.

I am a nurse and I will still get my flu shot and I still wear a mask when taking care of any patient that I feel may have something that I may catch.
#4 - Mon Aug 16, 2010 4:03 AM EDTOur sense of well-being is very important. Each of us, in our own way, are being forced to give thought and take action to protect our health. For some it may be a flu shot and for others it may be a natural approach....the important thing is that each person is "Free" to make their own choice.
Most of us in health care have pretty good immunity I would think. But I have seen a lot of people die from pneumonia secondary to the flu and it is not good. But certainly people have the choice... to get immunized or not. I can take care of them when they get sick either way.
