In the US, that can depend on the type of work you do and the state you are in, as well as your terms of employment. It can be a requirement of employment that, if refused, can lead to termination in some situations. Certain vaccinations can be something that you are required to have to be able to work in some health care fields, or with certain patients. If you do not get the vaccination, you could put the patients at risk of complications or even death, especially infants, the elderly and those with immune deficiencies by exposing them to the disease- causing organisms you could be infected with before you even have symptoms and are aware that you are infected.
If you can not take the vaccination for your own health reasons, Allergies, etc., then the employer might reassign you during flu season to a different work area away from these vulnerable patients, but this is often up to the discretion of the employer.
