Sorry, but if you want to take care of patients, you don't get to risk their lives unnecesssarily by refusing a flu shot.

There are lot of assumptions in that statement which may not be scientifically valid. Even if, the patient's life should not outweigh the medico's own. In a case where a medico choose that, they must choose to risk their life for a patient. The choice over ones life span ought not to rest with one's pay master as it does in American medicine.

Uh huh.

Their desire not to get a minor vaccination should not outweigh the survival of the person under their care.
