Ok...so help me out with something. It's sounding more and more like my employer is going to force me to get a flu shot...I don't want a flu shot.

i'm on the fence. do i think they should be able to force you (in a non-medical environment), no. but - Andie Nov 2, 07:02
do you work at a hospital/health care building? - tRuMaN Nov 2, 07:02 5
- I work FOR a hospital. I've been here 10 years and have never had patient contact...not even once. -- nm - Jim Nov 2, 07:02 4
  - it doesnt matter anymore. its like how many wont hire people who smoke, regardless of the job they do at the hospital. - tRuMaN Nov 2, 07:03 1
    - not quite, because smokers aren't hurting patients. -- nm - loosilu Nov 2, 07:15
  - ah, but you do interact with people who interact with patients? -- nm - Andie Nov 2, 07:03 1
    - And probably touches objects that are touched by patients or people who work with patients. - Ender Nov 2, 07:05
they're making it real difficult for us not to get it too. - Mel Profit Nov 2, 07:01 5
- The issue here is, the only way they're "allowing" us to decline is for medical or religious reasons. - Jim Nov 2, 07:02 2
  - It's given me pause... - Mel Profit Nov 2, 07:06 1
    - This nails it for me, pretty much. -- nm - Jim Nov 2, 07:10
- did you get yours yet? -- nm - Diva Nov 2, 07:01 1
  - not yet... - Mel Profit Nov 2, 07:04
just get one. I had to because of the new kids and all. take your medicine -- nm - CQ with a gravy boat Nov 2, 07:00 2
- Yeah...but I don't want one. I've never gotten one and I don't want to start now. -- nm - Jim Nov 2, 07:00 1
  - i hear ya. mandatory flu shots seems like crap to me. -- nm - CQ with a gravy boat Nov 2, 07:01
tell them its against your religion you use faith healing for the flu -- nm - Capstern Nov 2, 06:59 3
- I can do that, but I have to have something signed by the clergy of my choice. -- nm - Jim Nov 2, 06:59 2
  - Tell them you're a Jedi. -- nm - Strongbad Nov 2, 07:01 1
    - I am not the patient you are looking for -- nm - Capstern Nov 2, 07:03
are they paying for it? -- nm - znufrii Nov 2, 06:58 1
- Yep. -- nm - Jim Nov 2, 07:00
sorry, I'm allergic to needles (we always try and get ours) -- nm - Beaker Nov 2, 06:58
