American Public Health Association (APHA) Annual Conference attendees voted 82% to 18% in support of the APHA position statement titled “Annual Influenza Vaccination Requirements for Health Workers.” According to an APHA officer, the vote indicates “broad support across the organization and its state affiliates beyond the explicit endorsement by 11 of 27 Sections.”  The position statement calls for “institutional, employer, and public health policy to require influenza vaccination of all health workers as a precondition of employment and thereafter on an annual basis, unless a medical contraindication recognized in national guidelines is documented in the worker’s health record.”
