[/quote] Yes, I remember when it was EMT's & first responders who were targeted for the flu vacines. Now it's all nurses, soon to be all health care employees, including dentists (if it's not that way already). If the health care people don't stop this it will eventually be "Everyone NEEDS t get a flu shot-it's mandatory" and then the health care workers will be sorry because their kids will get jabbed. People need to stop it now. [/quote]

This is greatly disturbing and a dangerous trend. Even the hospital here is now requiring all employees to get the flu show or lose their job.
Recent studies indicate that the effectiveness of a flu shot is 1.5%. This practice or required compliance is nuts.
