Guest guest Posted June 23, 2008 Report Share Posted June 23, 2008 You may remember I joined this group cos I was looking for info/support regarding the hospital I work at maybe making flu shots mandatory for employees. Still don't know what the hospital is going to decide to do but the rumor is out there about making it mandatory. However, I had a chat today with my doctor who is NOT a believer in vaccination ...... and showed her the info i had gathered regarding the flu shot/thimerosal and lupus and she has agreed if I need her to she will write me a note saying i can't take the flu shot and should be given an exemption. Also had a chat a week or two ago with the president of the hospital .... she tells me she doesn't think they are going to do it and asked me what i thought. (Boyyyyy is that a dangerous question!) So I told her what I thought and about my personal problem with it. She said well then you don't have a problem if it were mandatory you have an exemption. Soooo looks like I can stop worrying about it. Whew! Pam http://pamsnutritionstore.com http://surviving-medicine.blogspot.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 23, 2008 Report Share Posted June 23, 2008 Whew!!! That's about the best news I've had all day!!! However, that having been said, I'm enough of a skeptic that I think if I were in your shoes, I'd get both of these individuals to "sign on the dotted line, making certain all the "i"s were dotted and all the "t"s crossed, and have them notarized. Then you'd have everything you need, should the worst happen, and there wouldn't/couldn't be any last minute surprises of someone going back on their statements. My thoughts and prayers continue to be with you on this. I have a friend whose daughter is caught in a somewhat similar dilemma--only with the MMR booster. I've been helping my friend by sharing information and websites with her and she has passed them on tho her daughter. ~~Ruth/REU Update: my former post You may remember I joined this group cos I was looking for info/support regarding the hospital I work at maybe making flu shots mandatory for employees.
