My facility have offered them on a volunteer basis through the local health department. There is no compensation for any reaction, you use your own sick time if you have a problem. I am not a candidate because I have had a joint replacement. I don't know if I would anyway with the recent reports of health care workers in their late 40's early 50's having heart problems and three actually dying from MI's post vaccine. There have been about 20 people in our facility volunteer and so far no problems thank God.

Has your facility offered the vaccine? Are they willing to compensate you if you get sick with any side effects? Have you even thought about bioterrorism in light of the current situation with Iraq?
Thoughts? Comments?
