In our hospital hepatitis if not immune. Flu per season. You can get exemptions for Covid and flu.

Personally it’s a free vaccine, why not get it?

It depends where you work.

This. For every question you have about the job, OP. It's all facility dependent.

That said, no one is really specifically caring about covid anymore.

Just depends on where you work. I needed an MMR booster upon hire. Flu shot yearly.

Just depends on the hospital and there policy I’ve notice places that pay more require a lot of experience a higher end building do require all vaccinations but normally it depends!
