It didn't dawn on me until just right now, don't ask me why, that my choice of NOT getting a flu shot will NOT get me into a nursing program. The director at my school of choice basically stated "it is a requirement that you receive one, however you can sign a declaration that you do not wish to receive one." Then I asked, "would that inhibit my chances of getting into the program?" She replied, "well, the facilities in which we work with it is required due to you working with elderly clients; If you do not wish to get the flu shot perhaps you should look into another career."
*****?? (excuse the language) I have worked in nursing homes, health centers, private duty, home health agencies, visiting nurses association, hospice AND THEY NEVER REQUIRED me to ever receive or even ASKED if I have obtained a flu shot!!! (mid 90's)
So, anyone please tell me my dream of becoming a nurse is already dead because I REFUSE to get a flu shot???!!! seriously??? I am so upset right now!!!
there are toothpastes that are flouride free and water that you can drink or make that is distilled with no flouride, there is aluminum free deoderant...I don't understand you...

Sometimes I wonder if the flu will become unpreventable by vaccine one day. The strains are constantly changing and we keep making vaccines for it but can there come a point that the vaccine will kill us because the flu will will require a super vaccine that is toxic to our bodies?

No. Vaccines don't become "toxic". The vaccine is essentially the same formulation every year except for different inactivated flu strains.
One day we might be choosing between dying from the flu or dying from the ingredients in the flu-shot. Stay woke. Either way you are dying but the shot holds a 100 percent guarantee.

Are you even a nurse? Can you provide any peer reviewed scientific evidence that vaccines are more dangerous than stated in official vaccine literature?
The flu vaccine has been in widespread use for 80 years and average lifespans have steadily increased, IQs, have steadily increased, and deaths from infectious diseases have steadily decreased.

The only appropriate use of the term "woke" is in sarcasm.

You went to nursing school? I'm sad for you and your patients.
