Well as long as Bill Gates isn't involved.

I'm not taking it either. I don't think flu vaccines are worth a damn. But I was also in heathcare for a while, and they can make it hard for you if you won't take vaccines. One place I worked at, I worked with an anit-vaxxer (which is fine with me, I don't have strong opinions one way or the other on that)... they told that person it was required and they would HAVE to get vaxxed to work. The employee put up a big stink, took it 2 managers up the chain, and finally was allowed to sign a waiver. Then HR put that employee on permanent night shift and gave them the worst schedule possible... and summarily passed them up for a promotion.

When I was in healthcare, I took the basic vaccines, TB and HEP, and have no problem with that because I was given one shot at a time, and because I really don't want to get Hep from an accidental needle-stick, or get TB from some weird immigrant. I'm very wary of them, but I'll take them for a good reason, if I feel like the benefits outweigh the risk.
