Ethics dilemma

Which one should an employee prefer, having the risk of losing the job or a vaccination for influenza? Among the other states, New York was the first one, which states that every employee should be very well immunized against influenza. Nowadays the hospitals are taking a similar step.

Should there be any other profession, which keeps this kind of requirement as well?
