🚨Flu shot declination language🚨 Flu shot season is here, and my inbox is full of the same question: “How do I submit a religious accommodation?” When the Biden/Harris mandates hit, so many of us were caught off guard. We didn’t know what to say or what protections we had. Now we know our rights, and our position is actually STRONGER. In 2023, the Supreme Court ruled in Groff v. DeJoy that an employer can’t deny a religious accommodation over minor inconvenience. They have to show substantial increased costs to their business. Why am I sharing a product your facility probably won’t tell you about? Because our 2025 Code of Ethics, Provision 1.4, says informed decision-making requires “the disclosure of all options, including interventions not available at an institution or organization.” My nasal and oral sanitation routine is Immune Mist, a povidone-iodine spray I’ve been using for 6 years. In lab studies, PVP-I inactivated influenza, coronaviruses, rhinovirus, and other respiratory viruses within seconds of contact. 🔗 Immunemist.com/rnjodi, use code RNjodi for a discount #ad: I earn a commission on purchases through my link. This is my experience and education, not legal advice. Talk to an employment attorney about your specific situation. Sources on povidone-iodine (PVP-I) and respiratory viruses: 1. Eggers M, et al. Infect Dis Ther. 2018;7(2):249–259. Inactivated influenza A (H1N1), rhinovirus, adenovirus, MERS & SARS in vitro 2. Kawana R, et al. Dermatology. 1997;195(Suppl 2):29–35 3. Eggers M, et al. Infect Dis Ther. 2015;4(4):491–501 4. Frank S, et al. JAMA Otolaryngol Head Neck Surg. 2020;146(11):1054–1058 5. Pelletier JS, et al. Ear Nose Throat J. 2021;100(2_suppl):192S–196S 6. Anderson DE, et al. Infect Dis Ther. 2020;9(3):669–675 All six are lab (in vitro) studies. Talk to your provider before using PVP-I if you have thyroid disease, an iodine allergy, or are pregnant or under 12, I recommend the saline mist spray. #flu #fypシ #foryoupage #nursingethics
