Analyzing Policies from Different Perspective
The policy identified for this discussion is the influenza vaccination policy, which
provides mandatory vaccination of all healthcare providers (Kitt et al., 2020). Notwithstanding
the availability of efficacious therapeutic and prophylactic interventions, influenza remains
among the top essential infectious illnesses that threaten the human population. Seasonal
influenza epidemics infect up to thirty percent of the population annually (Principi, Camilloni,
Esposito, & ESCMID Vaccine Study Group (EVASG), 2018). A significant number of them are
hospitalized, and more than a marginal number succumb to the disease. Many health authorities
recommend vaccines in strives to lower the economic, social, and medical burden of the disease.
Since health care providers are at higher risk of the disease, health authorities have developed a
mandatory vaccination of healthcare workers to protect them from the disease. Despites the
successes, ethical and personal stances have hindered the execution of the direction.
Background of the Policy’s Formulation
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention began recommending healthcare
personnel vaccination against influenza in 1984. In 2005, the “Society for Healthcare
Epidemiology (SHEA)” documented a position paper that required all healthcare personnel to get
influenza vaccine yearly unless they actively declined vaccination or had a contraindication to
the vaccine. In 2010, SHEA documented a guideline that yearly influenza vaccination of
healthcare personnel be made a condition of hiring notwithstanding no high-level proof to
support the suggestion (Edmond, 2019). Later, the SHEA’s “get vaccinated or get fired”
guideline received support from other professional groups. The IAC recognized the stellar
examples of influenza vaccination mandates in healthcare settings. The most efficient way of
averting influenza transmission to ailing persons was mandating healthcare workers' vaccination.
