Was it an easy choice to have your kids take the latest shot? Deciding to continue giving children covid shots has become an outlier opinion in the US. Less than 7% of people under 17 y/o took the first bivalent booster.

No. Possibly healthcare workers. Most hospital systems have require flu for a decade, and COVID-19 is easily a worse disease.
In my experience this is incorrect. Pre covid, health care workers who declined flu shots were usually instructed to wear masks during flu season. They were never forced with the threat of job loss if they didn’t take the shot.

It varied. It still does.
Everything's perfectly all right now. We're fine. We're all fine here, now, thank you. How are you?
Did it? Can you present evidence of health care workers being fired for not taking the flu shot during pre covid years? Maybe it happened but I was surrounded by both health care workers and emergency responders for decades leading up to covid and I never saw any instances of that happening.
Healthcare workers having to get vaccinated makes sense. If you can’t exempt yourself for medical or religious reasons, you’re basically implying you’re anti-vax, which throws into question your whole belief system around modern medicine. Which is worrisome given your profession of choice.
That started when I was in a different position, so it was pre 2015.
That page shows a post covid policy. I’m asking for a case of a health care worker being fired for not taking the flu shot PRE COVID. You claimed it was required at that time. In my experience it was not. Those who declined the shot were simply told to wear a mask and enforcement was often negligible.

Modern medicine is based on so much more than simply a system of belief centered around vaccinations. My goodness. Additionally it should be very clear by now theres’s a big difference between being anti-vax and being anti covid (or flu) shots.
i'm not even the only person i know who can confirm it's not sexually transmitted
