Flu shots...have not been "common" or mandated since I've been a healthcare provider.
The day my employer demands I take the "flu shot" is the day I tell them one of two things.....I've an allergy to eggs...or @%#$% off.
I'm probably a petri dish for colonized "bugs" right now....and they are worried about the "flu"? I've not HAD the flu for 25 years....And if I do feel sick...I don't go to work.
What are you going to submit to next?
Good thing you're not in Red Hampshire...most 'health care' systems in this state are MANDATING 'flu' shots for ALL employees...even paper-pushers who have NO contact with patients...people who are employed at sites that don't even have contact with the main hospital. Most are submissive sheep, fearing for their jobs; but others are justifiably angry.
