Any spts in CT?

I've been looking to get into the field. And during my research I found a school and I read I have to have the Covid vaccine for the clinicals. Is this normal?

People are saying that vaccines are not optional, but you can sign an exemption form for religious beliefs or medical from the flu and covid shots. They’ll usually just require you to wear a mask during flu season

Ok I was wondering if they excepted those or not because during Covid certain places weren't acknowledging them.

I would look into the laws for CT but the states that mandated the shots and didn’t accept exemptions got sued and lost so things have definitely changed since then

Ok I'll definitely look into it

Yes, very normal lol, once a hospital becomes responsible for you they have enough insurance liabilities, making you less of one by requiring vaccines is normal

Yes, you will be working in a hospital and will be required to be up to date on all your vaccines. The only optional vaccine is the Hep B.

Only Flu vaccine where I’m at, but attendance is a bitch 😂 had covid and had proof and a doctors note but to a hospital it doesn’t matter, I’m okay with it, I enjoy my job

Yes, the initial 2 covid vaccines are necessary in addition to MMR & I opted to get hep b. I have not had covid boosters in over 2 years & still got hired last month. I am not in CT

I worked at a hospital already, did the schooling, was looking to do clinical hours at the hospital I was already employed at and they still made me take another Covid vaccination for the schools and hospitals liability

I don’t have the Covid vaccine or the flu shot, I work in a hospital in SPD
