I just read an article about the swine flu vaccinations. In the article a mother of a sick child was interviewed, and she was concerned that so many people want to avoid vaccination and thus expose those that, for medical reasons, can’t be vaccinated to a potentially life threatening situation. According to the article 80% a the population must be vaccinated in order to reach the proper level of protection.

This is a difficult subject. You can’t (in the civilised world) force people to get vaccinated but to what degree is it ok to put others, that can’t defend themselves, at risk?

What are your thoughts on this?
