Forced to Get a Flu Shot

Health workers for MedStar health are being forced to get the H1N1 flu shot or will lose their jobs. What are your thoughts on this? Personally, the one time I received the flu shot, I became extremely ill from it --- more ill than I've ever been in my life. I've been told that the flu shot can't make you sick, but I completely disagree I understand the health system is worried about Swine Flu, but employees shouldn't be forced to get something that could harm them. I'd probably get fired for refusing.

Nobody should be forced to do anything they don't want to never mind a H1N1 flu shot with all the risks that are involved. That is bang out of order.

Exactly. It wouldn't be worth the risk for me.

I think that no one should be forced to take the flu shot, but out of their own will. We are going to have the flu shot soon, but it depends on us to take or not to take the flu shot. If it is not acceptable to us, we can refuse it. I am sorry that you became extremely ill from it. But I am wondering how you felt about it. Anyway, take care.
