Does anyone know if it would be illegal for a school or hospital to force a non-employee to get a flu-vaccine?
I am not an "anti-vaccine" person. I have had all my required shots as a child and what not. However, the dental school is requiring all students on rotations at the university hospitals to get flu shots. I have not received a flu shot since I was a kid and I have not gotten the flu since I was a kid either...I remember they made me feel like crap for a few days though.
Really this is more of a principal thing for me. I hate people telling me I have to put something in my body if I don't want it....Does anyone know of any legal ground that such an organization can force those who are not employees to be vaccinated for the flu?
gracious
