SWA 22: Essay 4 Plan


As more and more hospital systems push their employees to get the influenza vaccination, the safety and effectiveness of the flu shot is being questioned again and again.  The decision of whether or not to mandate the flu shot is controversial for this reason.  The flu vaccine has become surrounded by several theories discrediting its effectiveness and horror stories of people who have experienced severe cases of its side effects.  On the other hand, medical experts claim that the shot is effective and completely safe. 

Thesis for paper four:

Any hospital employee who comes in contact with patients and any form of paid caregivers should be required to have the flu vaccine seasonally.  Support for the vaccination in the medical community driven by making the flu vaccine mandatory for staff would help the general public growth to understand that the flu vaccination is both safe and effective.  It would also help better protect the health of those with asthma, pregnant women, and elderly.
