We Need A Better Flu Vaccine Before Considering Mandatory Vaccination Of Health Care Workers
Until we have a better influenza vaccine, it is premature to consider mandatory vaccination for health care workers, states a commentary published in CMAJ (Canadian Medical Association Journal).

"Influenza can be a troublesome infection for the average healthy person but it can be life-threatening for patients with chronic illnesses, immunodeficiency or frail conditions," he explained.
