Deletes language that provides that the Department of Public Health may require any facility licensed by the Department to implement an influenza vaccination program that ensures that the employees of the facility are offered the opportunity to be vaccinated against seasonal influenza and any other novel or pandemic influenza viruses as vaccines become available. Provides instead that the Department shall require any facility licensed by the Department to implement an influenza vaccination program that requires onsite health care workers affiliated with the facility and persons with privileges on the medical staff to either annually receive an influenza vaccination or, as an alternative to the annual influenza vaccination, wear a facility-provided surgical or procedural mask or other mask that covers the mouth and nose area of the face while this person is performing his or her duties in any patient care area of the facility during the influenza season, as defined by the Department.
