* ►March 20, 2010 - H1N1 Vaccine Acceptability and Correlates of Vaccine Refusal Among Physicians in the Emory Residency Training Programs - Fifth Decennial International Conference on Healthcare-Associated Infections (abstract) - "The results suggest H1N1 vaccination coverage may be increased by making vaccination mandatory or by focusing on vaccine safety messages that address the perceived risk of active influenza infection."

* ►March 20, 2010 - Taking the Final Step: Implementation of a Mandatory Flu Shot Program Within a Healthcare System - Fifth Decennial International Conference on Healthcare-Associated Infections (abstract) - "Exemption from vaccination was allowed for egg allergy, history of either Guillian-Barré or a post-flu shot anaphylaxis. A formal exemption process began as a written appeal to an internal review board which determined exemption. For the non-exempt, the choice to not be vaccinated resulted in termination. Rehire is conditional, based on the intent to comply with influenza vaccination in the future. ...Over 99.99% of approximately 3800 employees received a seasonal flu shot. No serious side effects occurred among those receiving vaccine. Of those employees who applied for exemption but were denied, 4 chose to terminate employement; however, one of these, a physician, chose retirement rather than immunization. Consequences for unvaccinated, non-employees were not explored this initial year."
