I wonder if the hospitals are getting scared that health care workers won’t comply with the annual flu mandate, now that they know its about more money for the hospitals not about patient safety.

Many hospitals are requiring physicians to take the annual flu vaccine (and now the COVID-19 shot). Flu shot mandates are not because it helps patients, but because hospitals get a tiny increase in reimbursements if the entire staff is vaccinated. Lobbyists for Big Pharma probably put this reimbursement boost into law to sell more of their product.
