The last year I worked for them the Free Free (no additives and ????) Vaccine came out. The new Chief decided I had to get the vaccine, I said No. He looked at my chart, and stamped Vaccine Not Required.

I have no issues with those who choose to be vaccinated, with whatever the government has this year.
Well aren't you special. Your experience is useful to exactly nobody. Yet here you are suggesting that with your super importance and super immunity you should let us all know how super special your exemption is and that you believe you have never gotten influenza even with no vaccine protection.

That's like all the people telling us how they never wear seat belts and yet still survive. All the people who drive drunk and never had an accident. All the people who play golf in during a thunderstorm and never got struck by lightning.

In other words, you got lucky. For those who want to hope to be as lucky as Asianthree, ignore your doctor's advice if they recommend a flu shot or any other shot or any other measure to reduce your health care risks.

I of course am certain that when Asianthree is caring for those 150 patients a day they are all being informed that the nurse [are you a nurse?] is not vaccinated and given the option of asking for a fully vaccinated nurse. I would want to know that my provider was doing as much as possible to not make me sick. You know, like wash their hands and other infectious disease control measures.
