> Almost no one with medical education left the field because of vaccine requirements.
Do you have some basis for that claim, or are you simply arbitrarily asserting something that would be true if your worldview is correct?

I read articles about people leaving and of the ones that broke down the numbers, most people quitting were not nurses. Most articles omit the breakdown and try to find at least one nurse to play to people with your bias, but it's still usually <1% of total staff that choose to leave. Almost no one with medical education chose to leave because of COVID vaccine mandates. This is true if only because almost no one chose to leave healthcare over it.
Most hospitals expect all staff to be up to date on vaccinations and that now includes COVID. Vaccine requirements at hospitals are completely normal and good.

Dude, vaccines are the mandated norm for MD's and nurses.
Protects them and keeps the doctors and nurses from being the vectors that spread sickness as they go from patient to patient, room to room.
Any MD or nurse that says otherwise is lying for political reasons.

Are all healthcare workers mandated to get the TB vaccine?

TB is rare in the US so probably not. I worked in a hospital kitchen and we had a list of required vaccinations. It's just part of the job when you work anywhere in the medical field.

Just anecdotal, but yeah the only person I know who worked in a hospital setting that was telling me the vaccine wasn't worth it, was someone who worked in the billing department of a hospital.
