Glen, what I get is NOT the flu and I have never claimed that it is. It is much worse.

Sid, I am taking into account that they are a very high risk group. The way I found out how badly I react to the flu shot is because when our boy was born, which is also a high risk group, I got the shot 3 years in a row and all three years had the same reaction. My issue is that we do the lip service thing before we do any real work to mitigate the issue. If there is someone in here with the flu, diagnosed by a physician, then they do quarantine that room but if there is flu in the area we do nothing to mitigate the threat of it spreading.

All of us have here had long discussions about it. The latest clarification I got just now is that masks don't have to be worn by staff that have or had the flu because the shot lessons the impact of the strain when it is passed to another. When there is a flu warning for the area the hospitals limit visitors, we don't.

I guess where you are maybe missing my point is where I have the problem is that the shot is treated as a cure all when no other precautions are taken. What I would like to see is the same precautions hospitals in the area take at the same time they take it. Along with that we should close the therapy gym and hydroworks pool to the public at the same time. There is no reason to let the general public use the same equipment the residents use during a flu warning.

Also, I don't have a problem leaving here if this is an issue. I really don't. There are other jobs out here that probably pay a whole lot better than where I am now. I told them if it becomes mandatory for me I would leave and I truly meant it.
