Swine Flu Emergency In New York

Today Governor David A. Paterson announced that he has activated New York State’s health emergency preparedness plan, and put the State on high alert.
The executive order means that far more health care professionals will be able to administer the H1N1 vaccine. These workers include:

dentists





dental hygienists





podiatrists





pharmacists





midwives





physicians assistants - will be permitted to administer swine flu and seasonal flu vaccines with only brief training.. The order is needed to suspend provisions of state law.

The executive order obtained by The Associated Press says at least 75 deaths in the state have been attributed to the swine flu. There was no immediate comment from Paterson on the order, which was dated Wednesday. Not to mention that there was no clarification on the 75 deaths, was this within a week? no-ones talking. Except repeating the same thing over and over again, get your shot, get your shot, get your shot it's perfectly safe.

Reminder: The order doesn't require vaccinations of health care workers or other adults without their consent and it doesn't require vaccinations of children without parental consent.
