[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is it normal to require a nanny to get flu shots?  We have had a nanny since June, and she is great. But when we asked her last week [b]when she was planning to get her flu shot [/b](we offered to pay), she said that she hates shots and just dismissed the idea altogether.  We are very concerned about exposing our daughter to someone who is at a higher risk of flu. Are we making too much of this?[/quote]

I can't believe everyone on here [i]missed[/i] the mark on this!

OP, your problem here is that instead of kindly asking your nanny about the flu shot, you just [u]assumed[/u] she was going to get one and it doesn't sound to me like neither of you had pre-discussed this prior to hire.

So you are in the wrong here.

If you hired her and never mentioned requiring her to get the flu vaccine, then come flu season just [u]assuming[/u] she would get it, then that is on you. Doesn't matter if you pay for it or not.

It is also your right to let her go if she refuses to get it.

I was hired for a family who didn't require me to get the shot at all. They recently asked me to get it done and I had no qualms about it since to me, it is no biggie. However, they would have been within their right to let me go if I refused as I would have been within my right to refuse if I wanted to.[/quote]
