What an idiotic response.
Plenty of people choose not to have the flu jab for their own reasons.
Some can’t have the flu jab for their own reasons.
Added to which, the flu jab is against the dominant strain that year, doesn’t mean you can’t still catch the flu.
To declare that someone who doesn’t have the flu jab is not fit to be near a child is one of the most stupid things I’ve ever heard in my life.
most people don’t get the flu jab unless they’re over a certain age, immune suppressed, or vulnerable and at risk.
Some choose to if they work in certain settings, but it’s a personal thing.
As much as I think antivaxxers are at the other extreme, not having a vaccine is personal. The only time I would urge someone to do it would be if they fit one of the above categories.
Oh and, I am just over a year post heart transplant after I was diagnosed with a heart condition after my heart was attacked by … … … the flu.
I have it now. I had it while I was sick and in heart failure. Before that there was never any thought that I had an underlying condition. And while you can never say never in that regard, you have the right to make decisions about your own health. And whether you have the flu jab has 0 bearing on anyone else.
It’s simple. If you’re feeling unwell you don’t visit, but that’s basic common decency anyway whoever you’re visiting.
I’m now immune suppressed. My mum has the flu jab, my dad doesn’t. But I do. So I’m protected anyway. What they do is their choice, I don’t expect the.m to come to me with colds and such, and they wouldn’t dream of it. But neither would I cut off my dad because he’s chosen not to be vaccinated.
