    §  2194. Employee immunization. 1. Every long-term care facility shall
  notify every employee of the immunization requirements of  this  article
  and  request  that  the employee agree to be immunized against influenza
  virus and pneumococcal disease.

  influenza and pneumococcal immunization determined by the facility,  and
  if  found to be deficient, the facility shall provide or arrange for the
  necessary immunization.
