I was just notified that the hospital I work at is now making it mandatory to have the flu shot. I am going to try and get something from Dr brizman to see if they will allow me not to take it, it states in the policy that they will consider it but they will make the final decision. I am concerned that because it is alternative treatment that they may not consider it and still insist that I get the shot.
Has anyone had experience with this happening and managed to not be forced to take the shot, or if you had the shot did it set you back in treatment. Any input would be appreciated.
My friend got a religious
My friend got a religious exemption. SH eis a nurse. Look into the laws of your state. I can give you her contact info if you want. I am sure she'd be happy to talk to you! I would NOT get that shot!
Thanks for your response,
Thanks for your response, what state is your friend from I am in California. I think the only way I can do it would be to try and get a medical exemption.
Hey Cathy, I too have this
Hey Cathy, I too have this issue with being mandatory to get the flu shot, but always tell them that because of immune issues and allergies I can't get the shot. They can't force you to get the shot. I sign and form declining the shot and I have to wear a mask if there is an outbreak, which there was last year! What a drag, but I don't want to take the risk to see what reaction I will have to the vaccine. I ha e talked with Dr. B about it, but have never had to get a letter from the office for this. Good luck!
