Swine Flu strikes back!

http://www.cdc.gov/h1n1flu/vaccination/public/vaccination_qa_pub.htm

"Q. Will vaccination against the new H1N1 influenza be mandatory?

A. CDC and ACIP (The Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices, which provides advice and guidance on the control of vaccine-preventable diseases) will make recommendations for who should receive H1N1 vaccine, and state and local health departments and institutions will determine how to implement these recommendations. If the vaccine is recommended for use, those who choose vaccination for themselves or their children will be screened for contraindications to vaccination (such as an allergy to eggs ) and will receive information sheets describing the vaccine’s risks and benefits, possible adverse events associated with vaccination, and how to report these events."

The above is a link from the CDC..the question and answer is cut and pasted off of their site...A simple YES or NO would have been nice from Big Brother...
