She is talking about 3 yes THREE flu shots this fall. One will be the regular flu shot, the second is the new 'swine flu' vax, the 3rd is a 2nd round of the new 'swine flu' vax.
Keywords and phrases:

"required"
"no known immunity"
"public relations"
"trust the government and health officials"
"public campaign"
"trust scientists"
"could be uptick in severity"
"massive public education campaign"

I'll leave it to you to decide what you read from that.

She ranks up there with Paul Offit in my book. I take nothing she has to say to heart.

I can't believe she's a real doctor. She did mention that it would take a huge publicity campaign to get people to take this vaccine--twice each!!--given what happened with the previous swine flu vaccine.

The heartening part to me was that Meredith admitted that she does NOT get the flu vaccine. (She did say she might this year, but it sounded like it was a preemptive strike just to get "Dr." Nancy not to talk about it.)

*barf*

Paraphrasing:

"Remember how people died from this shot in the 70s? Well don't worry.... we are rushing this to market so we know it will be safe."

WTF?
