    Influenza is serious respitory diesese that kills an average of 36,000 persons and
    hospitalizes more than 200,000 persons in the United States each year.
    2. Influenza vaccination is recommended for me and all other healthcare workers to prevent
    influenza disease and its complications, including death.
    3. If I contract influenza, I will shed the virus for 24–48 hours before influenza symptoms
    appear. My shedding the virus can spread influenza infection to patients in this facility.
    4.If I become infected with influenza, even when my symptoms are mild, I can spread severe
    illness to others.
    5. I understand that the strains of virus that cause influenza infection change almost every year,
    which is why a different influenza vaccine is recommended each year.
    6.I cannot get the influenza disease from the influenza vaccine.
    7. The consequences of my refusing to be vaccinated could endanger my health and the health
    of those with whom I have contact, including:
    • patients in this healthcare setting
    • my coworkers
    • my family
    • my community
    Despite these facts, I am choosing to decline influenza vaccination right now.
    I understand that I may change my mind at any time and accept influenza vaccination, if
    vaccine is available.

    That looks very familiar - we must work at the same place. Last fall I was told I had to get a flu shot, or I would get negative marks in my personal record, no more promotions or raises. I told them to shove it - no way was I going to get a flu shot. I've never had one, never will. So after one year they were true to their word and I didn't get a merit increase. It was only going to be 2.5% so guess who is going to do 2.5% less work this year??

    I can leave and would do real well consulting, but with my youngest still in grade school, I'm not ready yet to spend most of my time traveling.

    I'm really glad I stumbled onto this thread - maybe I will fight them this year.

    I just sent in my declination form for the next year. I'm not an employee but a vendor and couldn't care less if I never did business there again. I already move as much business as I can to other facilities.

    How is it that doctors are not all just telling the political manipulators to go suck rotten eggs?

    Only shots that I take are the pain shots for my knee and my shoulders.....but.....I took an empty container and took it to another Dr. to be sure that it was ok to use it.... never taken a flue shot or anything like it....almost 76 years old and still alive.

    Yes, but you have to consider all the innocent people you murdered by passing on the flu
