US swine flu vaccine uptake low
17th Feb 2010
MANY Americans do not intend to get the swine flu vaccine for themselves or for their children, and believe the pandemic is no longer a threat.
The New York Times reports a poll of 1419 adults found 40% had their children vaccinated against swine flu, but only 13% of the remainder intended to do so.
Most parents who had not had their children vaccinated said they felt the threat had passed or that they feared the vaccine, despite the monitoring of 60 million doses showing no significant rate of side-effects.
