Yes. Nurses have an obligation to protect themselves, and their patients. Vaccination is an important way of doing that. ANA strongly urges all nurses to get a seasonal influenza vaccine every influenza season. It is also crucial that nurses be vaccinated this season against H1N1 to limit illness and death in our patients, co-workers and family members.
