? No parent who will not vaccinate their children would ever want a nanny who was not vaccinated! That is insane!

Actually, I've found that parents are very firm in their beliefs and requirements. If they are anti-vaccine, it's for their own kids and the nanny as well.

True insanity. Finding a nanny who was never vaccinated is difficult if not impossible since everyone in the world has had some vaccination as a child. Plus, anyone who has un-vaccinated children is depending on the "herd" to be vaccinated.

Anti-vaxxers don't believe in herd immunity. It's kind of a central tenet to their rejection of vaccines. Science isn't really their forte.

Np, I years ago interviewed with a family who was anti vaccination. I was asked if I had my vaccinations. I said yes and the mon said I'm sorry but we can't have you work for us if you are vaccinated. I'm not sure why, I didn't ask.

Because one of the tenets of the anti-vax nutso fringe is that vaccines are actually live viruses (most are not) which live in you forever and then make unvaccinated people sick (absolutely not true -- any live virus is gone within a couple of weeks). It's another way to argue that the vaccine is actually worse than the disease, or causes the disease, or whatever. It's not like the anti-vax arguments need to hold up to logic.

There are people who can't vaccinate. Those people need everyone else to do it to keep them safe.

+1 It is in our contract as well. If not stipulated in the initial hiring agreement, I can't see how your could force a nanny to get a flu shot or any other vaccine.

You may fire her anytime, and she can quit anytime. But if you do fire her, expect to be held responsible for her unemployment benefits.

I would inform the nanny that it is a requirement that the nanny receives an annual flu shot; meaning either you going to get this flu shot or you get another job lol..

However, you should have informed those during the interview that it’s a requirement, as well as include it in your contract, as some are against it.

I told our prospective nanny the job offer was only on table if we were given proof of dtap shot.

Not physically force them, but say, "Get the shot or find another job?"
