I know, I had to get the flu shot each year or produce a dr. note with reasons why I can't take it or proof that I got the shot somewhere else. They did the same with their staff with vaccines for CV19 and they all got it early in Jan. This was even for clerical and mail staff, not just patient facing staff.

PS - I never minded getting the shots, figured it just made me safer.
