[quote=Anonymous]I'm a nanny. I get the TDAP every two years and the flu shot annually. The flu shot is mostly for me because I would get it regardless of being a nanny. The TDAP if for the family but I think it's imperative to have because I work with infants. I would make it mandatory for hire of a newborn/infant, and I tell that to all new parents. Pertussis is something that is passed down by adults and since a nanny will spend most waking hours with the child then its a requirement in my book.

I did get reimbursed by some families if I got it around the start date. My employers have reimbursed for the flu shot. I would make it a requirement. Let any nanny know they must get both ( you will pay or reimburse) in order to be considered for your position. That way they can decline an interview if they aren't open to them. Most infants nannies are because we understand the severity of the whooping cough. Especially now that some parents have decided not to vaccinate and those diseases are rampant in many areas now.
