From the article:

One in three nurses say they will not be immunised against swine flu, despite being offered the vaccine as a priority to protect patients.

Concerns about the vaccine’s safety and a perception that the infection is mild are among reasons that NHS staff gave for refusing to have the jab, a survey of nearly 1,500 staff found.
The swine flu campaign looks to be falling apart before it starts just like the smallpox campaign of a few years ago. It's great that the people who inject children with these shots are questioning and refusing. It will only help spread awareness.

There will of course still be a massive push for this shot and the media will be more than annoying reporting every possible case, but if the media shouts in the woods and nobody is there to listen, does it really make any noise?

Most nurses refuse the regular flu shot, so this is not surprising!
