And yet the flu vaccine is not mandatory for nursing home staff. I think it used to be pre-Covid but the cookers are winning. In fact there is a global drift away from science, meanwhile flat-earthers are on the rise.

An annual influenza vaccine, prior to the influenza season, is strongly recommended for all staff of residential care facilities, and mandatory for NSW Health staff in category A positions.
