"DOCTORS have cast serious doubts over the safety of the swine flu vaccine, which they claim is being ?rushed in without proper testing?.
Last week the Government announced it had ordered enough doses to inoculate the entire population in a vaccine programme that would be the biggest for half a century. Health chiefs have already formulated a priority list of patients and the first jabs are expected to be administered in autumn.
However, leading vaccine experts say not enough time has been given to testing the safety of the jab. Dr richard Halvorsen, author of the truth About Vaccines, said: ?this has been rushed through quicker than any other vaccine in history, without any idea about whether it really works or is safe.
?I am not going to have it or recom- mend it.?
I have to say that this following bit doesn't make me feel like wanting to take the vaccination.
"A spokeswoman for the Department of Health insisted there were ?strict processes in place for licensing pandemic vaccines? and that ?appropriate trials? had been carried out on ?very similar vaccines? which had ?shown to have a good safety record. the United Kingdom has one of the most successful immunisation programmes in the world.?
