Misinformed healthcare professionals? Pfft. I asked, and we are vaccinated to protect ourselves first, the patient second. I'm not sure what country you live in...perhaps your standards are different? I graduated with a nurse who works at Mass General and she said it's the same there. Vaccinate for yourself first and patient second.
Also, you can not be fired for refusal to be vaccinated for medial or religious reasons. I know, as I just had to go through that whole process as I am currently not vaccinated against the Flu.
