  1. Mandatory flu shots????

    I think people should be able to decide for themselves. I have an autoimmune disorder and also I watched my husband have a bad reaction to the flu shot right before he went through cancer radiation treatments. My husband works for a medical center an...
  2. Mandatory flu shots????

    I took all the pre-nursing classes, quit my job, bought all my books, started nursing school, signed a declination form for the flu shot months before classes started and THEN they changed the rules on me and forced the flu shot. Short version: I qu...

  4. Nurses fired for refusing flu vaccine

    Amen and amen! I too have wondered about the sudden "pandemic". Seems like a very interesting correlation with the mandates about....
  5. Mandatory Flu Vaccines- How do you feel?

    I was wondering the same thing.
  6. Nurse: 'I was fired for refusing flu shot'

    I see that not only are hospitals and clinics threatened with not getting medicare/medicaid reimbursement for not getting staff 90% vaccinated but that according to this article they can lose their accreditation: http://www.foxnews.com/health/2013/0....
  7. Mandatory Flu Vaccines- How do you feel?

    I am not trying to be smug. Sorry if I came off that way. It's just the constant pressure of "take it or leave school" or "take it or get fired" etc. that wears on a person. It's easy to get an attitude when a person is forced to change their life pl...
  8. Mandatory Flu Vaccines- How do you feel?

    Maybe those of you who are employed can pay all the taxes to support those who aren't.
  9. Mandatory Flu Vaccines- How do you feel?

    Very good post. I was just reimbursed for nursing school when I refused the flu shot that they instituted after school began. Glad to see there are others who will think for themselves and draw the line for themselves.
  10. Nurse: 'I was fired for refusing flu shot'

    I think this answer is telling. Your answer was not "patient safety".
  11. Has anyone left their employment due to mandatory vaccinations

    My school just reimbursed my costs for school since I was required to get the flu shot or leave. I am happy they reimbursed me and they are supposed to have some discussions about this at the school now too. I am not happy about the whole situation. ...
  12. 8 fired (3 Nurses) for refusing flu shot.

    Yes, so someone else can decide for you whether you really reject the vaccine for religious reasons. Ridiculous!
  13. Has anyone left their employment due to mandatory vaccinations

    Yes and I quit nursing school over it. To me, I question the safety and necessity. Above that, it is the principle of the thing. If hospitals and clinics were REALLY concerned about "the safety of the patient" this would have been mandatory long ago....
  14. Has anyone left their employment due to mandatory vaccinations

    I've enjoyed reading olddraggers posts. It seems to me that unless someone posts that the discussion dies. Olddraggers interesting posts have kept discussion going. On the point of vaccinations I think it boils down to whether you trust the governme...
  15. Has anyone left their employment due to mandatory vaccinations

    I actually know someone who refuses to buckle up because he is not hurting anyone but himself if he does not buckle up and crashes. He says it is stupid to make a law against it for that reason. I buckle up myself, but I see his point. People should ...
