In 2000 I was a civilian contractor to the US military in the Middle East. They came out with a requirement of a mandatory anthrax vaccine, a 6 shot series. Heard lots of stories about GIs getting sick, having runny abscess sores at the injection sight. Put it off as long as I could and was told 'go get it right now, or you're fired'. So went to the infirmary, told the enlisted medic that came in to give me the shot I really didn't want it, but had to have it in my records to keep my job and laid $100 on the table. He looked at me, at the money, squirted the syringe into the trashcan, filled out the form and walked out with the money. 2 months later the shots were no longer required.
Maybe you can find a friendly medic?
Probably not something that'll happen nowadays. People are too scared of OSI. I'd have better luck with copying my coworkers vax cards, though I'm probably way past the point of pulling that off.
That is something that crossed my mind, but I'm worried that they'll require booster shots and I'll be suck in a corner.
