Influenza vaccination

WSNA nurses,

While WSNA encourages all nurses to be vaccinated, your contract has specific language that allows you the option to decline. We have heard that management has been telling nurses that they will be terminated if they do not receive the influenza vaccination; for WSNA nurses that is simply not true. However, you do need to submit a completed declination form which can be obtained at employee health. We have included a link to a pdf version via the button below for your convenience.

The completed declination form must be submitted by Oct. 31, 2021.

If you have any questions, please contact your nurse representative, Mara Kieval, at mkieval@wsna.org.
