And yet it was on my form. Extra funny since I’m a 51 year old guy.
Before I administer a vaccine dose, I ask every female if she is pregnant or breastfeeding. I haven’t had a yes yet. If a person answers “yes” to ANY of the pre-screening questions, the computer informs me that the person “may” wish to reschedule their vaccination for a later date. Mind you, they’re sitting right in front of me with their shirt sleeve rolled up at this point. In this way, the person administering the vaccine becomes the fall guy which is not entirely an uncommon occurrence in nursing. If it comes down to a nurse who makes $60,000/year taking the fall or a pharmaceutical company generating billions in profits, who do you think is going down? I also read the fine print to every person including the parts about unanticipated reactions and complications and the inability to sue anyone over unanticipated reactions and/or complications and I ask them if they agree. Every time.
