You said it. Their hospital, their rules. I guess it boils down to how much you like said hospital. 3 years seniority isn't much but it is something.

I see both sides man. I dodged them for years on active duty then the .mil made them mandatory, even for reservists, failure to comply = failure to follow a lawful order. I'll take the shot over the nasal mist.

Why not? If you actually are allergic to eggs and they tried to give you the shot anyway you'd sue the shit out of them. Why wouldn't they accept that as an excuse from you? Or... Just get the shot and quit compaining about small stuff. |

Respectfully- Having received numerous Anthrax shots, smallpox, H1N1, Hep A/B, Typhoid, Yellow Fever, and annual PPD/TSTs in addition to annual flu shots for thirteen years in the military there is NO FUCKING WAY I would give up 16 years at a job over a flu shot. But that's just me. |

Ethical issues
Employees of health care institutions have an ethical and professional obligation to act in the best interest of their patients’ health. Recognized medical and religious exemptions to mandated influenza immunization can be granted on an individual basis, so requiring influenza immunization for HCP is ethically justified. A policy also is needed for the management of personnel granted an exemption. |

I don't understand.
Why WOULDN'T you want the shot??? Is it just because they said you have to have it or lose your job? I don't understand (unless there is some sort of certifiable reason) why anyone wouldn't want a flu shot. |

I've never had the flu, to my knowledge but every year I have to get that damn shot. And for the next 3 days I end up feeling like shit. I know it's not supposed to make you sick but I swear it happens every damn year (maybe its just allergies and the time of year). Anyhow get the damn shot. in this economy you dont want to be outta work. If your still having doubts go to an unemployment office and ask some folks there what they think

As a Nurse for almost 15 years, I get the vaccines. I am protecting myself from my patients & vice versa. If I am sick, I can't work OR I could pass it on the a patient who is already immunocompromised, which could be fatal for some.
In this economy, I would advise to get the vaccine, unless you are rich & don't need to work! |

At some point you just have to man up and say enough is enough. Name tag fine, uniform, ok, forcing me to get a vaccine in order to keep my job not ok. At what point will you say no when it comes to your job? You're not a slave or test subject you are a free human being, you have the right to refuse. Again I would tell them to join a circle jerk and hit the road.

These people should wait to get a flu shot until their symptoms lessen. |

Our hospital is shot or mask.
It's also a public health issue, since they don't want medical providers pulling a Typhoid Mary. I've got a wife, newborn son, and a 3 year old with severe asthma. The shot is more for their protection than my own. Pick your line in the sand. If this is it, then do what you feel you must. If it was something you'd have done anyway. If so, and with a little grumbling, then maybe that isn't the right windmill for you to joust, Don Quihote. Posted Via AR15.Com Mobile Edited for all the stupid BlackBerry Storm text input errors. |
