Nanny state?
Have TB then.
The reason the UK is relatively free from such diseases is BECAUSE we have vaccination. You should be forced to have it. It's safe, and we've doing it for years. Why should we have a few immigrants fucking the system up? We should jab in your asses at the airport!

we haven't had to have vaccinations in the states since the sixties. traditional tb has been entirely eradicated there and now we only have to deal with these new super-viruses.
there's no real reason for me to get a vaccine - tb is completely treatable, and when it's not and has evolved to be untreatable, then a vaccine won't help anyway.

(Jun 1 07, 03:33)Does this include school vaccinations when you're young, like for hepatitis (which we have to get here in Canada)?
I would've had the TB vaccination, to be honest.

we had vaccinations when we were kids, same as you, jaline, but not for tb. in fact, i seriously doubt that YOU have ever had a tb vaccination. you should look into it.

(Jun 1 07, 04:56)You're right! I just mean if I lived in a shady place, and if someone actually recommended that I get one, I would definitely do it.
I currently live in the suburbs, so I think I'm okay. Unless that bastard from the plane got me on his way through Canada :E

well, i survived hackney in the end. the doctors weren't all that surprised that i didn't want the jab and didn't put up much of a fight.
the thing i think that bothered me about the whole situation was that they don't drag new immigrants in kensington and chelsea into the hospitals for vaccines.
and when they realised that i was an educated, white american and not a poorer economic migrant, they didn't really care whether or not i got the jab.

They try and get everyone. They'll only try when you see your GP though. They don't drag people off the streets.
What about Tetanus? Have you got that? You have a cat now right?
Be afraid.
- paraselene0
no, they literally send you a summons saying that you have to go into the hospital!
and i've got a tetanus shot, yes. but no cat! i'm afraid the flat is too small and it would be unfair.
