Me either. And having formaldehyde, thimerosol and stuff injected into my body on a yearly basis just doesn't seem like a good idea. Everybody has to decide what is best for them and should have the RIGHT to. But now, people are mandating, get this, or lose your job.

Pretty much only the flu shot forces me to inject stuff that I think is bad.

What I I think the seatbelt is bad or uncomfortable or cuts into my neck too much or even might kill me if I get in a wreck.

Btw the flu shot isn't mandatory. It may be mandantory for your current job but it isn't for every job.

Many people are being fired over refusing to take it all over the US ever since medicaid reimbursements are tied to 90% compliancy levels in clinics and hospitals. Follow the money. Nobody cared about the flu shot being mandated before that. All of a sudden you are a terrible person who wants to spread the flu if you don't put your arm out.

I totally agree that reimbursement money is likely the reason many hospitals and clinics are implementing stricter flu shot policies. I don't agree that just because reimbursement money is tied to such policies that it makes them bad policies. Monetary incentives can be used to further good policies. The question is whether its good for health care workers to take flu shots (given that someone in question does not have a good health reason for why they should be exempt).

So, lets talk about the pros for health care workers having flu shots and then lets talk about the cons.

Pros: Helps prevent spread of flu, Helps workers stay healthier so they can miss less work.

Cons: Side Effects
