Research doesn't support mandatory influenza vaccination

Re: Research doesn't support mandatory influenza vaccination

Full pdf of the letter is at this link:

http://www.wisconsinmedicalsociety.org/_WMS/publications/wmj/pdf/111/3/96.pdf

Elsewhere I commented on this letter

The author concludes with a rather weak argument that he thinks an annual influenza vaccination is inconvenient to obtain for HCWs and sometimes even after vaccination an individual can still get influenza.

He does not seem to be concerned about the potential for influenza transmission from a HCW to an immune compromised patient even if only one patient is saved from infection.

With over 4000 hospitals in the US (link), hundreds and perhaps thousands of hospital patients could avoid nosocomial influenza if all HCWs were vaccinated.
