The requirement is part of a new emergency regulation adopted earlier this month by the State Hospital Review and Planning Council that requires that all hospital workers get the flu vaccine -- and that it be a requirement for employment.

I'm against the whole thing but I believe this is typical for health care workers, if they get sick can make patients sick.
If you want to get sick go vist a Doctors office or Hospital.
Better yet become plumber, go get job working on the sewer pipes in hospital.
Work on the air filtration system would probabily work also.
