Employees forced to quit: Employees Resign http://www.kulr8.com/news/local/81295157.html By Kyle Midura BILLINGS - Could you lose your job for refusing to get an H1N1 vaccination? If you work in the health services field, it's a real possibility. Riverstone Health confirms officials asked four employees who refused to get vaccinated to resign or retire. "The best way to stop influenza epidemics is to get vaccinated," said Riverstone Health Board Member Michael Dennis. snip Several wrongful termination lawyers we consulted with and said Montana employers must demonstrate “good cause” in order to fire a worker. However, they said vague phrasing leaves the law open to many interpretations. Riverstone Health officials said employees were not fired. They resigned or retired, a distinction under the law.

Montana hasn't been very good at reporting this flu, either at the state public health level (their weekly report last week to CDC was missing) or at the newspaper level. Today is really the first Google Alert I've seen on school closings for H1N1 swine flu this year. http://www.greatfallstribune.com/article/20091008/NEWS01/91008004/1002/rss It hit Billings, a major city, in the spring and then sort of faded for the summer. Friends are telling me they have it now, though. It seems to be coming late here. We'll see if this is a bump or the beginning...

Indigogirl, thanks for providing this thread. I really appreciate news from the front lines. I'm not a licensed anything so I won't say much on this forum but I read the flu blogs and pass on info to friends and traditional medicine practitioners. Could this be an adenovirus? "Adenovirus infections often show up as conjunctivitis, tonsilitis (which may look exactly like strep throat and cannot be distinguished from strep except by throat culture), an ear infection, or croup. Adenoviruses can also cause gastroenteritis (stomach flu)." Wiki http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adenovirus#Infections
