Does Poland have a law that makes it mandatory to have a flu vaccine every year? If not, why not?

Good question for which sadly I can't provide clear answer myself. Well main argument against is that vaccine against flu isn't 100% resistant.

I got even few friends which took in past flu vaccine (before Covid) and in some cases, they fallen sick. Or said vaccine worked for one year but next year it didn't - not only that... their immunological response was way stronger to flu.

Overall flu done more damage than Covid at least so far did in Poland. It's curious case to be said.

@UrathearVaccines are not mandatory in the U.S. as far as I know.  They ARE mandatory for children enrolled in most school districts.  Some parents choose to home school so avoid having to vaccinate their children.

As said, what I related to was my point of perspective. Which is Polish side of things. USA works a bit differently, that one for sure.

To the best of my knowledge the US, Federally, does not require any vaccines.  Additionally, I don't believe any US State requires any vaccines. 

Most schools do have vaccination requirements, but there are also exemptions for religious or other personal reasons.  That issue of many universities requiring the Covid-19 vaccine has already prompted lawsuits.

There are various employers, usually health related, that do require some vaccinations.  Additionally, the armed services requires various vaccines - not sure if that is just for deployment overseas though. 

 

My guess it's vaccination against overseas viruses - just to not bring some exotic virus to US.

In my opinion vaccinations shouldn't be mandatory unless at least vaccine don't pass all needed tests. We can survive 2 more years, we all feared Covid gonna end world but fears turned out to be unjustifed. We still need to be careful tho.

I don't think anywhere else in the EU (or the UK, or the US or anywhere else) has made vaccination mandatory, though, so why would you expect Poland to?  

Well then I don't understand that push for restrictions and punishments for anyone unvaccinated? Recently goverment litteraly threatened people who were unvaccinated over national TV. In that way you push fears even further instead of relaxing people over vaccination.

No, I don't care to explain it. It's been covered ad nauseam in this very thread and actual, factual information is available to you almost everywhere.

At this stage, you're either going to listen or you're not. Not looking so good for the former, just by your initial post.

"Good luck" and "have fun".

So I don't see how there is factual information related to why this "safe" vaccine isn't required by law like most vaccines for life-threating diseases are. More like arguments toward why vaccines are not threat to health.

Then my question is, why they aren't lawfully required? In Poland at least we got mechanism to make pretty much 99,9% of society vaccinated but goverment take responsibility for that. If it's in phase of testing - okey. Then why won't we wait this 2 years for it to pass offical test but so hard on it? Why people like you and goverment slowly trying to dehumanize me for legit concern? I said I would be pretty much ready for vaccination if goverment would make it a required vaccination. So no I'm not against vaccine.

So who isn't listening? Pretty much it was you, it turns out in the end.

And dunno why bidding me farewell was in quotation. You really don't want me to be well? Might as well tell me to ***** off. I prefer being direct over hiding behind false pleasantries.

What vaccine were you offered?   

Was it not one of the four to which the European Medicines Agency have granted conditional marketing authorisation  ("The approval of a medicine that addresses unmet medical needs of patients on the basis of less comprehensive data than normally required. The available data must indicate that the medicine’s benefits outweigh its risks and the applicant should be in a position to provide the comprehensive clinical data in the future.")?

 

No, no - that's not what I meant. I'm glad EU recognize their safety but what we have in Poland are national mechanisms to nationally distribute vaccine among all population - making it lawfully mandatory - this is case with vaccines for example against tuberculosis, measles or polio. Yet Polish goverment instead of making mandatory vaccination tries to force people to vaccinate in other ways. That's suspicious to say at least. I dunno how it's for each national goverment, I know some nations don't have mandatory vaccines but for Poland situation looks like this... When it comes to Poland the most popular are AstraZeneca one but it's not uncommon to be vaccinated with Moderna or Pfizer. Johnson&Johnson is slowly distributed as well.

Doesn't work unless I rejoin sim again. Better than relog, still not perfect.

Reset Skeleton alone is a local fix. It only shows on your computer.

Reset Skeleton then relog is a global fix that will show the reset for everyone after you've logged back in. A teleport after reset can do a similar thing, but I usually relog as well, just to be on the safe side.

Yeah but that I know. I want to know is there is workaround to not have to do that.

This does fix it on my side but everyone else still see this glitch.

I got some issue which makes my life in Second Life harder.

So basically when I switch from Euro Dragon by i monster back to Jomo Dragon my entire head for Jomo Dragon becomes really disshaped and nothing really can help other than relog.

While okey, this is in some way a solution, I want one which doesn't involve relog. I tried some of Undeformers, including one kit full of em. Nothing really works. Gestures tied to commands for undeforming, objects which are supposed to fix that, part of clothing which also should do that. Nothing. Resetting manually avatar does work on that although that is only for you or anyone who decides to use it. Therefore it's easy to earn "Why the long face?" comments making fun of that when I would just decide to do that. Are there any way to fix that in-game for everyone, not just me or interested party without relogging? Screens attached below to show issue:

I mean one big no which is not talked at all in media for me with vaccination is that - this vaccinations are still in phase of tests.

Therefore by taking this vaccinations now, you as person take part in medical experiment - any consequences from vaccines are therefore on you. Tbh. I'm suprised nobody presented documents to sign up in many cases of people who vaccinated around me but that can be arbitrary Poland thing and you "agree by default" (current goverment of Poland is known rn. for doing very shady *****)

If you want me to vaccinate, make it required vaccine. Then responsibility for any health issues is on nation, not on me. It tells a lot that Pfizer, Moderna, AstraZeneca and Johnson&Johnson refuse to take responsibility for THEIR OWN vaccines but also national goverments. Why would I then place any trust in them?
