If it is because of legitimate concerns about the health and safety of co-workers and patients, then, yes it is legal.

It is legal for any reason. Given that no flu vaccine is 100% effective, it would be legal to require all workers to wear a mask. It would be legal to require you to wear a clown nose too. If you don't like the required garments for your job, your only right is to quit.

Legal? Of course, for your safety and the company's. Refuse and get fired for cause.
