THE HEALTH WORKERS PLEDGE
As a health
worker, my responsibility is to prevent disease, treat illness and
promote health. My obligation is to help, and above all, do no harm.
Smallpox vaccination has known and potentially serious side effects. In the absence of any evidence of exposure or risk of exposure to smallpox virus, it is unethical and a threat to my health and the health of the patients and public that I serve to administer unnecessary vaccine. Military personnel are unfairly being forced to get the vaccine and this should be stopped. As a health worker I am being given a choice, and I choose NO! I will not be pressured to risk my health and the health of patients. I will not participate in a campaign that is against the best interests of the public I serve. I hereby pledge that, in the absence of evidence of exposure, I will not get and will not give smallpox vaccinations. Send your endorsement by filling out and submitting this form. |
