To Flu Shot or not to flu shot

[twa]

My wife told me that her friend was fired yesterday for not getting a flu shot. The friend works at our local rec center in the senior program. Seems strange to me.

could be considered endangering her charges(which are a vulnerable group to the flu)
i have heard of nurses being fired for refusing

[Special K]

Whelp, my whole house just got taken down for the count with the flu the yesterday and today. Just got back from the pharmacy with a boatload of Tamiflu for everyone.

Definitely waaaaaay less expensive to "chance" it with the vaccine and hope that the experts guessed the right strains than go to the pharmacy and have to get a ton of Tamiflu...GOOD LORDIE.

I got my vaccine back in early November and am fine, so far...thank goodness. Fingers crossed the strain they have is the strain going around the country and covered by the vaccine.
