MA added flu shots to school requirements this year.
its interesting my local hospitals and medical offices REQUIRE a flu shot for their employees. I didn't realize that wasn't an across the board thing.
I'm pretty sure a "large" revolt will not happen. Again, most Americans are onboard with vaccines. By the time there are enough doses for everyone, healthcare workers and the most vulnerable will already have 6-12 months under their belt after being vaccinated. That is plenty of time to get comfortable with its efficiency. Most people want to resume normal life ASAP, and that requires enough of the population getting vaccinated.
Most accredited child centers in CA require all teachers have a flu shot as well.
I‘m not taking it as an attack at all, if any of this was easy or simple there wouldn’t be a debate. It’s good to hear all sides, I also hope the government and pharma companies are listening. A key to a successful deployment of a vaccine will be listening to people’s concerns and addressing them. I’m not trying to change anyone else’s mind, just pointing out how I look at this and also hoping to get factual information out there for everyone to digest.The 10-15 year process is in place for a reason. If their were hardly any issues found with vaccines after the first year or two in development then obviously at some point in the past 50 years the process length would have been shortened.
I don't want to go back and forth in depth on a subject neither of us understands enough about. I'll just state the facts. The Covid vaccines are being rushed through. The standard process is 10-15 x longer than the amount of time the Covid vaccine is being given.
If someone can't see the safety (potentially massive) issues there then I'm not sure what to tell them.
I like you GoofGoof so I don't want to go back and forth all night on this. Don't take any of my replies as attacking you
I left the bold part out of my previous response, but it’s perhaps the most important statement.
honestly, no one in my inner circle has ever had side effects. You dont currently feel any symptoms of illness right now, correct?
Your arm may be sore tomorrow and if you are unlucky possibly mild flu like symptoms for a day or 2 (very small percent of people have this). On the plus side they will probably give you a sticker
Nope. I just want to get one this year with what will be an overactive “illness” season
good. Like goof goof said, soreness will occur, and MAYBE mild cold like symptoms. Its a very quick shot, over before you know it.
i have an appt at publix for my flu shot as well..havnt gotten one in years..flu shot is safe
Treat yourself to a chicken tender sandwich from the deli with the $10 gift card they give you.
I didn't feel the needle stick at all. About an hour after my shot, my left shoulder (where I got the shot) was sore. For the next day or two, that shoulder was sore - it felt like a bruise if I pushed on it. If I didn't push on it, I didn't notice anything. That was it for me.
