It may not be voluntary for health care workers in the US in the next few
months. After the military get theirs, we're next, along with police & fire
personnel. If we want to keep our jobs and cannot prove a medical
contraindication, there may be no more to discuss. At least for those of us
who work in hospitals, clinics, or medical offices. I also understand it is
not the same as the original innoculations I received as a child. It's a
super version to deal with a GM'd or weaponized virus.

My question: is it a live or killed virus innoculation?
Another: if live virus, is there a waiting period before we will be allowed
near babies & new moms? I can remember having a little clear plastic bubble
taped to my arm over the innoculation site to keep clothing off of it or so
clothing won't absorb the medication before it has a chance to work. It
probably also helped keep my fingers off it for a day or two.
