My HMO asked me if I got a flu shot. I told them no. The one time I took the shot I got sick with the flu.
I don’t get flu shots. she said that happens to some people.
and that was it.
We have been forced to have the flu shot for the past three years at the hospital where I work (I don’t take care of patients, I analyze data all day at a remote site). Last year it was a three-in-one shot. I have formally protested, including submitting a well-researched treatise on the hyped & bogus “flu threat.” Long story long, just like you, no one cares to investigate this draconian policy - we have all been getting the flu when we never did before having to have the shot. No one even tracks the effectiveness and whether you got the flu- just shills who have become sheep herders. If there were any other alternative, I would have gone three years ago. But, this is Michigan! It makes me so enraged I can barely stand it. Did anyone ever hear what happened to the Nurses suing New York for trying to mandate the H1N1 vaccination? I know people have been fired from my hospital for not submitting. Unbelievable.
