2    AMENDMENT NO. ______. Amend House Bill 2984 by replacing

9    (a) As used in this Section, "medically contraindicated"

1viruses as vaccines become available. The Department may adopt 
2rules setting forth the requirements of the influenza 
3vaccination program. A health care employee  may decline the 
4offer of vaccination if the vaccine is medically 
5contraindicated, if the vaccination is against the employee's 
6religious beliefs, or if the employee has already been 
7vaccinated. General philosophical or moral reluctance to 
8influenza vaccinations does not provide a sufficient basis for 
9an exemption.
