Been crazy busy with adminsitering hundreds of flu shots for young and old. More facilites mandating shots for the students too. We are almost out of in-active and cannot order more because they are working on H1N1. The rest will have to wear masks for clinicals. We do have plenty of live FluMist left. I took mine about 2 weeks ago, gave to my husband, grandaughter, mother, sister, and grandfather. My sister said her arm was sore for 2 days. No one else in family had any reactions. Out of the patient population only had one person who ran a fever for 3 days and had muscle aches and he was a post spleenectomy pt whose MD made him get the shot. Hope everyone is having no problems either.

    Hi,
    I just finished my practicum in hospital education in an RN to BSN Program. We gave lots of flu shots too. But when the hospital posted flyers to employees stating the flu shots were mandatory it really caused a stir. Finally they dropped the mandatory and most employees complied anyway. Did you have any reaction about mandatory vacination?

    Yes, we have had some concerns and have tried to be sensitive to individual rights. The nurses can refuse but, then must wear masks when entering pt rooms. Second option, do clinicals after flu season.
