It is normal for the parents to be used to the flu shots for their children before they go to school. This has been around for a long time already and obligatory vaccinations have saved a lot of lives. But when you have to have flu shots when you are an adult, things seem to go a bit over the top.
It is the first time in history as the hospitals and the university health symstems are assigning compulsory vaccinations to their staff. This is to prevent the flu from spreading, but as to their surprise some members of the staff are not as happy about it as it was expected.
You would consider getting a free ticket to not get ill of the flu would be tempting to people who are working in the health care industry, but there is a great number of nurses who are not willing to take that vaccination. They made it mandatory for the staff to have both a yearly influenza vaccination and also a H1N1 vaccination for health care employees.
The official position of the nurses seems to be that they feel like the vaccines are used for testing purposes on them and that is why they are not happy with it.
