The Continuing Struggle Over Mandatory Vaccination of Health Care Workers

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has long recommended that all health care workers receive an annual influenza vaccination. Throughout the United States, employers in the health care industry have experimented with strategies to encourage voluntary influenza vaccinations of health care workers. However, voluntary immunization policies have not had a significant impact on the overall coverage rate.

Vaccine Refrigerator Systems in Doc's Offices Get OIG Approval

On Sept. 16, the Department of Health and Human Services Office of the Inspector General (OIG) ­issued Advisory Opinion 16-09, which stated that the OIG would not impose sanctions against a company (requestor) that proposed to provide physician offices with a computerized point-of-care vaccine storage and dispensing system free of charge, subject to certain other requirements (proposed arrangem). This advisory opinion is of significance because the OIG held that the proposed ­arrangement would not constitute grounds for the imposition of sanctions under the exclusion authority in Section 1128(b)(7) or the Social Security Act, of the civil ­monetary penalty provision of Section 1128A(a)(7), as those sections relate to the commission of acts described in Section 1128B(b), the Federal Anti-Kickback Statute (AKS).
