Communist Medicine

I recently got my flu vaccine for the year.  I had to sign a waiver saying that I agreed to get the flu shot.  Not that it really mattered if I signed the form.  If I refuse to get the shot I would likely lose my job.  Other healthcare workers who have refused the flu shot have been fired.  While I am not against the flu shot in general, I will say that I am against forcing people to receive it.  To my knowledge there is minimal (or no) evidence that mass immunizing a healthcare population reduces spread of the flu.  That alone is enough for me to question the requirement.  I won't even begin to get into the ethical principles of forcing people to inject substances into their bodies that they don't want.
