I have to get the flu shot where I work or I would have to find another job. The law wouldn't even save me cause I do home care and the CLIENT says get the flu shot or be gone. I don't mind the flu shot.
The flu shot is made up of several strains, it's an educated guess, they are trying to protect people/patients and high at risk people from getting the type of flu strain that is deadly. If you get the shot, you won't get that strain which they fear is the most severe. You can still get the flu, it's just a different strain. They do put all kinds of other crap into the shot and it does make we wonder about the long term effects but I have been getting it for over 10 years, so far so good. Although 10 years is not nearly long enough for a study. People DO GET SICK after obtaining the flu shot.. It's not directly from what they put into you rather, they put the dead strain into you, your body is building antibiodies to attack that foreign substance compromising your immune system to other foreign invaders and that's why people can get feeling sick after the flu. At least this has been what's been told to me.
I think it is total bullshit that hospitals/nursing homes can push this on their employees and trust me, I have tried to refuse it when I worked in one and they treat you as if you are committing a crime. They pressure you into it or in six five's case make the working conditions terrible so you will do it.
