It's 20 bucks, if you haven't got it and the price is a barrier message me and I'll cover you lmao.

Free would probably be ideal, but realistically people don't get it because they're lazy and don't think of the flu as serious (which for most people, it isn't). It's an education problem, hence the higher rates with oldies.

I'm honestly shocked more jobs don't pay for people to go get it. 1 hour out of the office and 20 bucks and then you don't have a whole week of sick leave. Most bean counters are stupid though, and got their job by doing coke with the right people more than anything else.

Some workplaces, they get someone to come in, so you don't even need to leave work to get it done.

Fucking riot over that haha, everyone could use the longer lunch.

I don't think it's ever compulsory and some workplaces, it's not easy to step out for a longer lunch. Teachers, for example.

But, if you're in the habit of stepping out, it would be a shame to miss out. I think the problem is most people don't do it.

I am having trouble understanding what you wrote.

I mean it in the sense, you lose the excuse to take a long lunch getting vaxxed. Not that vaccines are bad. I am not a lunatic, anyone who is even remotely pro social and not significantly unhealthy gets every vaccine they can because being a vector is the ultimate cringe.
