On the way to work this morning I heard them saying on the radio that the insurance companies won’t insure the doctors for giving Swine Flu shots if something goes wrong nor will they receive any backing from the government which I thought was scary because they know something we don’t know.
I did find an article though doctors warning about the swine flu saying it was rushed and could be dangerous.
The country’s top infectious diseases body has written to the Government to warn that the swine flu vaccine is being distributed too hastily, with too many risks for the public.
The Australasian Society for Infectious Diseases says the vaccine will come in multi-dose vials.
It says these have been shown to transmit infection, spread HIV and hepatitis and even cause death.
The Federal Health Minister Nicola Roxon says the Government expects to receive two million doses by the end of next week, and a widespread immunisation program could start by mid-September.
But the infectious diseases doctors say the swine flu threat has now passed, and there’s no need for urgent mass vaccination.
