porkchopexpress says
I have a relative whose vasectomy wound got infected with one of those super-bugs, and it put him in the hospital for a week. Not fun.
I'm sure most people don't have that problem, but it sure put the fear of God in me when I heard it.
I backed out a few years ago from getting one after researching the potential long-term effects. Scared the shit out of me. Horror stories.

God dammit you guys. I finally got off the fence on this and now you've put me back on it. Shit. I've never researched the side effects, so I guess I need to start at ground zero and look into it. Figured it was a pretty basic thing. Unless it's a legit emergency, I have little faith in voluntary procedures anyway.

Onvacation says
It's not even that. Some are being required to get it. My nurse friend was asked to promote on social media that she got it. She was anti weeks ago and then got it. I think there may be incentives being parlayed about. It was a complete 180 on what she was saying weeks ago.
Either way, most staff at hospitals are required to get the normal flu vaccine every year. So saying every doctor is getting it might be true, doesn't mean they want to or think it is effective. Typical flu vax is a blind shot in the dark each year as to what strain will be prevalent. Effectiveness is adequate at best.
BoomAndBustCycle saysevery doctor and nurse in the world is going to get this vaccine so we are screwed as a society if anything bad happens when we have zero doctors and nurses left.
Not every doctor. THere are plenty of doctors that want nothing to do with the vaccine for themselves or their patients.
