Mandatory flu vaccines

Published

My hospital has instituted a new policy that you are required to have a flu vaccine. If FOR ANY REASON you cannot or will not get one, you must wear a mask from now until they deem the end of flu season. 2 years ago after getting my flu vaccine from employee health, I got a huge localized reaction, red raised hard bump, and had a fever for several days. I was going to start antibiotics, but the fever broke before I got them filled. They assumed it was a site infection, but never really know for sure, so I never got one last year since employee health has me listed as "bad reaction". So they refuse to give me a vaccine and are requiring me to wear a mask for the next several months. This seems rather unfair.

What do you think about being forced to get vaccines?

With previous bad reactions, should you be excused form the mask wearing?

I already struggle with getting the hard of hearing to hear me speak, since I have an accent, and Im a sweater.

Boohoo. Was thinking of getting the one they shoot up your nose, but my pcp thinks I shouldnt since we never knew what caused my reaction.

I have arrived.

I went all nerdy and saw Dr. Manhattan appear above the fawning crowd, with thunder and lightning flashing in the background.

I did assume we'd have an influx of "influenza vaccine causes autism" courtesy of our presidential candidates last night, but thankfully, that hasn't been the case.

Way off topic except maybe the influenza vaccines cause hoo hoo's to disappear!

Didn't you know that vaccines cause autism and aphallia?

It is a conspiracy by the government and big pharma to emasculate the American people and make the country weak.
