Re: Re: Thimerosol-free Vaccines?

[Guest guest]

If you want to work at any hospital, you have to get a flu shot. You could

probably get a lawyer or a waiver, but you probably would not have a job. This

was the ONE time in my life I got a flu shot and then, although they say this is

impossible as this is not a live virus, I promptly got a mild flu for three

days.

I don't think they can force someone to get the flu shot. I work in

nursing also and was encouraged to get the shot but I declined. There

must be a waiver or I would contact a lawyer. I would not get the

shot because there will always be trace amounts of thermosil in it.
