Voice of the People: Dec. 3, 2012

(WTNH) -- A lot of people are on both sides of the issue, sounding off tonight about a flu shot mandate for workers at Waterbury Hospital. They're also talking about a handicapped couple's fight to get a wheelchair ramp installed at their mobile home. Here's tonight's Voice of the People.

Dan from Westbrook said, "I think that hospital employees should be forced to get their flu shots. My son got double pneumonia at Middletown Hospital after having surgery from a sick nurse that went in his room to take care of him and treat him. She was sick and she should not have been allowed to work."

Bella from Woodbury said, "I do not agree that people should be forced to get flu shots or any other shot. How dare our government, our country, and our employers force that upon us. I am so against it."

"L" from Seymour said, "While I don't agree with the hospital saying you must get the flu shot, it is a violation of your rights, I feel nurses should get the flu shot because as a nurse myself, the patients who came into the hospital, many came in with complications of flu. So if the nurse wants to continue working and not get the flu, she should get the flu shot to protect herself and of course the other patients who don't have the flu."

Laura said, "The couple in the wheelchairs that can't get out of their house? It is against the law, they have to be able to get out of their house, it is a fire hazard. The landlord has to work with them to get a ramp in there. I'm in a wheelchair myself, and it is totally disgusting."
