link A pregnant nurse tells CNN she was fired from her job after she refused to get a flu shot for fear of miscarrying. "I'm a healthy person. I take care of my body. For me, the potential risk was not worth it," Dreonna Breton told CNN Sunday. "I'm not gonna be the one percent of people that has a problem." Breton, 29, worked as a nurse at Horizons Healthcare Services in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, when she was told that all employees were required to get a flu shot. The Centers of Disease Control and Prevention advises that all health care professionals get vaccinated annually. She told her employers that she would not get the vaccine after she explained that there were very limited studies of the effects on pregnant woman

I've never, ever been in a situation where a flu shot was absolutely mandatory, even when I was a health care provider! I never get a flu shot and I've had the flu once, in the past 15 years! I think someone's trying to sell out all their flu-bug vaccine! Peace, OHD

They tried this where I work when they sent around a memo saying everyone had to get one.Then apparently because of complaining they back peddled and said those who opt out have to sign off on a form.They really just wanted it for PR purposes.
