Public Act 100-1029 | ||||
| ||||
| ||||
AN ACT concerning health.
| ||||
Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
| ||||
represented in the General Assembly:
| ||||
Section 5. The Department of Public Health Powers and | ||||
Duties Law of the
Civil Administrative Code of Illinois is | ||||
amended by changing Section 2310-650 as follows:
| ||||
(20 ILCS 2310/2310-650) | ||||
Sec. 2310-650. Influenza vaccination program. | ||||
(a) As used in this Section, "medically contraindicated" | ||||
means that administration of an influenza vaccine to an | ||||
employee would likely be detrimental to the employee's health. | ||||
(b) The Department of Public Health may require any | ||||
facility licensed by the Department to implement an influenza | ||||
vaccination program that ensures that the employees of the | ||||
facility are offered the opportunity to be vaccinated against | ||||
seasonal influenza and any other novel or pandemic influenza | ||||
viruses as vaccines become available. The Department may adopt | ||||
rules setting forth the requirements of the influenza | ||||
vaccination program. A health care employee may decline the | ||||
offer of vaccination if the vaccine is medically | ||||
contraindicated, if the vaccination is against the employee's | ||||
religious beliefs, or if the employee has already been | ||||
vaccinated. General philosophical or moral reluctance to |
influenza vaccinations does not provide a sufficient basis for | ||
an exemption.
