Mandatory Flu Vaccines
One local hospital has given this mandate to employees: no vaccine, no pay raise.

No flu vaccine, no pay raise. That’s the mandate for employees at one local hospital.
COLUMBUS, Ohio—No flu vaccine, no pay raise. That’s the mandate for employees at one local hospital.
The new rule applied to both seasonal flu and H1N1 vaccines.
Some question the policy, though.
NBC 4’s Ana Jackson GOT ANSWERS on why local health officials made the vaccines mandatory.
A mandate on flu vaccines has stirred up protests.
New York health-care workers rallied at the state capitol Tuesday.
The seasonal flu shot is mandatory for all Nationwide Children’s Hospital employees.
Dr. Dennis Cunningham said it is a matter of protecting patients and providing good care.
“If there’s a bad flu outbreak and we have lots of staff who are out sick, how do we keep the hospital running,” Cunningham said.
All Children’s employees also will be required to get the H1N1 vaccine when it becomes available at the end of October.
Employees with medical or religious objections are exempt, and employees who refuse the treatments will lose out on pay raises or bonuses, according to a hospital memo.
“I don’t think it’s extreme. When you look at what patients want and need, they want to be cured they want to be kept safe. These are children a very vulnerable population. It is our job to keep them safe,” Cunningham said.
NBC 4 received an e-mail addressing concerns over vaccines’ mercury content.
“Multi-dose vials … there will be a trace in there. It acts as a preservative. No bacteria in there, and it’s kept sterile. But the level is so low, it wouldn’t cause disease in humans,” Cunningham said about the mercury.
NBC 4 found both the OhioHealth hospitals, such as Riverside Methodist Hospital and Grant Medical Center, and the Ohio State University medical centers offer free flu vaccines to all staff members but do not require a vaccination. Policy changes are always possible, though, officials said.

Reader Reactions
cynguy, is not that far off! I don’t think that the plan is to kill people but there has not been enough time to test exactly how the vaccine will affect people in the long run. Some physician’s are advising patients to wait and see. As far as giving nurses an ultimatum, I’d leave. That’s denying people their right of choice. There’s no proof that the vaccine will even work let alone making it safer for patients. There are people who die from the vaccine, and some who get so sick they wish they would die. I will take a flu shot but I’m not going to get the H1N1 vaccine. That’s my choice and I’m sick of government taking away people’s choices.
NO ONE should be forced to have to inject themselves with something they don’t feel comfortable with. I think people are missing the point here.
You walk a VERY slippery slope when a company can mandate to you what you put into your body.
Last time I checked, this was the United States and we still had rights. Based on what I read here, this isn’t about “protecting patients.“ This is about a company worrying about a bunch of people being out sick.
Let’s remember, the flu vaccine doesn’t guarantee you won’t get the flu and the H1N1 is far from being “well tested.“ If any American citizen feels ill at ease getting a vaccine, that’s their right and that’s the bigger issue at hand.
Being bullied into doing such a thing is shameful and again, a very slippery slope.
They should have to take the vaccine if able, not only to prevent staffing issues but to protect the vulnerable population they serve. As an RN and unit manager, I feel it is my duty to protect my patients and have seen enough to know that handwashing isn’t going to curb the spread of flu. Nurses and caregivers are horrible with handwashing; studies prove it. Most of the caregivers I see that refuse are just afraid of “the stick”. No one likes a shot. Give it up and protect your patients and family! As for the ridiculous conspiracy theory, it is not worth addressing something so ignorant.
Cynguy- wow. You have to admit that’s pretty far-fetched isn’t it? I don’t think “they” are as organized as most conspiracy folks believe “they” are.
Wow, so Children’s is going to have a mass exodus of RN’s now. That’s smart. What’s more important, having staff to care for the sick or taking the risks of contracting swine flu? I’d rather have the staff to care for me or my children.
They Try to Change the Set Times: Swine & Seasonal Flu Vaccine Alert
They try to change the set times. The Swine Flu (H1N1) vaccine and apparently regular flu vaccine (Evidence of Thimerosal, H1N1 Virus in Seasonal Vaccine) are being used in an attempt to abruptly kill significant numbers of population, to bring the population numbers (blood types A, B, O – those who do not belong to them) well below 200 million. This is the purpose of forced vaccinations, to kill many all at once and cause debilitating chronic symptoms in the blood types A, B and O, which have damaged DNA/proteins and weakened immune system. The number of these blood types is quickly approaching 200 million. By abruptly bringing the population numbers below 200 million, they believe they can change the set times and have victory over their Creator. But, their end will still come at the appointed time – at that very hour and day predetermined long ago.
Vaccines were developed under the cover (lie) they will protect from harmful viruses and bacteria, and were never needed and are another fraud perpetrated on the people. Harmful viruses and bacteria thrive and replicate in the blood types A, B & O, which have blood pH that has deviated away from a neutral pH of 7.00. A neutral blood pH of 7.00 destroys/removes harmful bacteria and viruses. The blood type AB is the normal healthy blood type with a neutral pH of 7.00 and has normal DNA and immune system.
Vaccination is in fact the most effective and efficient method to transport poisons more directly into the liver, to displace and deplete copper from that location. The liver is where much of the blood proteins (and other proteins) are synthesized and is where the greatest percentage of copper is stored. Copper is vital in protein synthesis. Vaccine poisons settle and accumulate in the liver depleting and displacing copper, thereby causing a mineral imbalance and deviation from a 7.00 pH, resulting in near-immediate massive DNA damage, by disrupting normal protein synthesis. This aberration in protein synthesis is indicated in malformed and missing proteins, reflected in acidic blood (type B) or alkaline blood (types A & O), depending on individual propensity of the mineral imbalance, i.e., toward acidic or alkaline. As of 2005, the blood pH of blood types A/O was set up to average pH of 7.54 and the blood type B was set up to a higher acidity level (lower pH). The blood pH (blood types A,B & O) has been carefully managed through methodical, intentional poisoning, to reach the current life-critical levels specifically targeting this point in time. The vaccines, planned long ago for this period in time, are formulated to push the blood pH past the critical points, in order to kill and disable many.
