if there was any proven link to a flu shot causing a miscarriage, even if the odds are slim, i understand her position. Its also the hospital's right to let her go, but I'm sure there is an attorney somewhere that disagrees.

The lady refused; that is her right. The company fired her, that is their right. Why did this warrant a news story ? |

She was interviewed yesterday. Her reason was she had 2 previous miscarriages and when she thought about getting the flu shots she got nervous and anxious. Her Doctors pointed out that being Nervous and Anxious was proven to be a factor in miscarriages. The Flu shot itself was not going to casue it. IMHO she is a nervous wreck who should not be around patients anyway. |

Flu shots are required when you work in a hospital, she's at a much higher risk not getting one than actually getting one.

Not necessarily...my fiancee is an RN and she refuses to get the flu shot...she just has to sign a declination form stating why. She has sensitivity to latex and preservatives.

My mother is an RN too, and her hospital requires it for every employee. She is also allergic to latex, and they provide her with different gloves.

I thought it was something critical like not buying a pink t-shirt.
Had she not been pregnant, I'd be completely against her actions. Because she is pregnant and would not get the shot, they should have started her FML immediately. |
