I got my flu shot but it's bull**** that med students and doctors have to comply with some dip**** administrator's arbitrary decisions "or else."
SMH.
They're not forcing you to get the flu shot because they feel like it. It's not arbitrary. You will more than likely be in contact with immunocompromised/suppressed patients who cannot get the vaccine themselves. Herd immunity, heard of it? YOU might be able to get over the flu, but people DIE each year from the flu, especially a couple years ago when there was the really bad strain. It's not just a cold with some body aches. Getting a flu shot also decreases the severity of the flu if you happen to get it.
