Public health leaders are at a loss to explain the skeptical minority,I found "Some Doctor refuse to give vaccine," intersting to me because not only did I but others around the U.S. and other places got the vaccine. I've heard that it's possible in 10 years that this vaccine could possibly give you cancer because it has not been fully tested and we're not sure what all can happen when this vaccine is taken.
except to say that it mirrors the chronically low percentage of health care
workers who get the seasonal flu vaccine every year. Officials worry that
these doubters could have a disproportionate influence in an already frustrating and
confusing situation, and stress that the studies conducted so far and the
intensive monitoring under way indicate that the vaccine is as safe as any flu
vaccine.

Some doctors refuse to give vaccine
The hardest factor for many doctors is the dearth of swine flu vaccine for their patients. But a small cadre of outliers remains skeptical about the government's unprecedented immunization campaign, citing doubts about the risks presented by the H1N1 virus of the safety of the vaccine.

This is a very timely subject, Sasha.
ReplyDeleteWhat I need, though, is for you to summarize the article in your own words. The first paragraph of your post is simply copied and pasted from the original article.
Additionally, you need to make sure that you identify the source, and also label the post as a "current event".
I forgot to give you your score. 19/25
ReplyDeleteI haven't gotten my flu shot. I probably won't though
ReplyDeleteI can't believe some doctors are refusing to give the vaccines. Isn't that part of their job?..to help people when they are sick and to PREVENT them from getting sick.
