The Wire

Today the first swine flu vaccine is being rolled out around the country, in the wake of a winter during which 170 people died from the new flu strain. This week the Wire ran an interview Meryl Dorey from the Australian Vaccination network. She claimed that the new vaccine hasn’t been tested properly and there is not enough evidence that it is safe. There are plenty who disagree with what she had to say, including former Federal Health minister Michael Wooldridge.
