Hospitals can require their employees to get the flu shot, every year, through the employee health department at the hospital. Or the employee can provide the hospital with documented proof that they received the flu shot somewhere else. They’ve been doing that for years. It has nothing to do with HIPPA. And they have been allowed to function that way.
It looks like some hospitals are taking the same position with the Covid shot/s.
Nobody should be allowed to force anyone to choose between their job and taking a vaccine.
Be that as it may, it’s common practice for many hospitals when it comes to the flu shot, and it has been for a long time.
And I'm not exactly comfortable with the flu one being forced.
Even though I choose to get it.
But, the flu shot is a vaccine.
A process that's 60-70 years old?
And one that's had a chance to be thoroughly studied.
This shot is not a vaccine by the definition we know.
It's new medicine.
Unproven, untested, no history.
