1. Senate Bill 2394 mandates Hawaiian healthcare workers receive annual flu vaccinations.

2. Those opposed to the legislation argue it conflicts with employees' rights and personal beliefs.

3. The CDC recommends healthcare workers receive flu vaccinations as it improves patient safety, protecting vulnerable patients from ill workers.
