Get your flu shots or else? Wake Forest University Baptist Medical Center is requiring all faculty, staff, students and volunteers in the hospital and its subsidiaries be vaccinated for the flu, the hospital system announced Thursday. The new policy applies both to seasonal and the H1N1 swine flu virus vaccinations. Only employees with religious or medical reasons are exempt. The hospital said it provides flu vaccines free of charge to its staff and students. Seasonal flu vaccinations began Thursday. Medical center officials said they fear that, without the mandate, a staffing shortage could cripple the hospital's ability to treat patients. http://www.myfox8.com/wghp-wfubmc-flu-shots-090924,0,7782472.story
