"-- At a Philadelphia meeting of the Infectious Diseases Society of America, officials of the group strengthened their recommendation that shots against both types of flu should be mandatory for healthcare workers and that unvaccinated doctors and nurses should either wear masks or not deal with patients. "All of us and all our colleagues who work in direct patient care should be immunized," said Dr. Ann Gershon of the Columbia University Medical Center, the group's president. "We owe it to our patients." The group said voluntary educational programs have failed to raise the vaccination rate above 70%, putting patients at risk."

I wonder if they've had the vaccines or if they intend to get them.
Most people appear to be getting 2 vaccines... One regular flu shot and a H1N1 nasal mist or shot.
idsa members should set an example for the rest of us and have their vaccine shots photographed for a newspaper.

Why would seeing someone vaccinated on TV make you think that the contents of the syringe was the H1N1 vaccine?
