I just came across this article that was in the Australian newspapers about a week and a half back. An Australian Parliamentary staff member contracted a nerve disorder after getting the flu vaccine. Apparently there was some bullying by managers to get their staff vaccinated: http://www.theage.com.au/news/Natio...om-flu-jab/2006/10/30/1162056913968.htmlhttp://www.abc.net.au/news/newsitems/200610/s1776731.htmI've included some of the article here: Questions have been raised about Parliament House's vaccination program after a worker developed a rare, potentially deadly immune disorder from a flu jab.
Rumours have been sweeping parliamentary staff about the flu vaccine used last year after a worker was diagnosed with Guillain-Barre Syndrome, a known but rare side-effect of the vaccine.
Some Department of Parliamentary Services (DPS) staff complained they were bullied by their managers into having the vaccination, Labor senator John Faulkner told an estimates committee hearing on Monday.

I think there should be laws against that kind of bullying, we should not be forced to take any type of meds. That is a bloody shame.
