The policy have covered regular seasonal flu shots and will also cover the new H1N1 or popularly known as swine flu. The vaccination will start on Monday for its first batch.
They (Health Quest) also have sent memorandum regarding the reference of the employment condition. That whoever did not comply with the new policy can be suspended or terminated from their job, said Howard Adams who is the corporate safety and emergency manager of the Poughkeepsie based nonprofit.
As for Health Centers in Poughkeepsie and Saint Francis they have not included any sanction to those who will not comply to the new policy according to spokesman Larry Hughes.
The policy is mandated by the state and whatever happens to these health care workers it is the responsibility of the state to do something about it.
