Most people don’t hesitate when offered a flu shot. It doesn’t seem to bother them or worry them at all.
I prefer to know exactly what's going into my body.
Recently I was notified that in order to continue teaching my nutrition workshops in a local hospital’s wellness center, I'd be required to receive one of their free flu shots.
I was given two options to decline: medical or religious reasons. So I chose to file a spiritual declination.
After submitting my formal refusal of the flu shot, I was notified that I can no longer teach my public nutrition classes at the Wellness Center during flu season because I don’t belong to a church that has a written doctrine against flu vaccines.
