Vaccination program cancelled in Australia

HE Federal Government's plan to immunise the population against swine flu is in chaos because insurers may not cover doctors who administer the jab.

Inadequate testing and the possibility of spreading other infections means there is too high a risk patients will sue, the insurers say.

This is an interesting statement from the insurance companies view

But the insurers believe the distribution of the vaccine in multiple-dose vials exposes people to unnecessary risk of blood-borne infection from other recipients. As well, they believe the possibility of rare side-effects has been inadequately explored.

Inadequately explored.....

No kidding!

Congratulations Australia!

...and in the monarchy of Sweden, they are pushing it further. The papers are really pushing for everyone to get the jab. It has not been mentioned anywhere that it will be mandatory, wich here would be an outrageous thing to do, but as much as 72% has said they will take it as showed in polls. Any poll can be manipulated though so I hope its less percentage.

No where in that article is the word "scrapping" used.

So where did "the Australian government has announced that it is "scrapping" its swine flu vaccination program" come from?
