I am a nurse in Arizona being forced to wear a mask or receive the flu vaccine, is this infringing upon my freedom? is 5% to 20% a pandemic? I am a nurse in Arizona being forced to wear a mask or take a vaccine. Is this legal? I also have to wear a colored dot on my badge to show I did not receive the vaccine.
A Hospital in Kingman, Arizona is making their employees wear Masks if they are around patients and other people during flu season. The departments who staff received the flu vaccine will not receive a list of employees who will need to mask, and if this is not enough, employees who do not receive the flu vaccine have to wear a green dot on their badge along with wearing a mask. If a hospital staff member is not being singled out enough by wearing a mask, the green dot should really single that employee out that did not choose to receive a flu shot
It states in their email letter that 5% to 20% get the flu each year. This does not seem like a alarming amount to make employees wear masks and green dots on their badges. Those of you who work at the this hospital in Kingman, AZ and others who have words of encouragement please feel free to comment! I am seriously considering seeking out a lawyer. I feel like my rights are being taken away.

There are several threads on this already, and yes it is perfectly legal.
