More about:

The Dutch municipal health service (GGD) says it is extremely satisfied with the number of children who showed up to be inoculated on the first day of mass vaccinations against Mexican flu. Reports from 18 municipal health centres show that at least 60 percent of those offered a flu shot turned up.

 

The current vaccination campaign against the A(H1N1) virus is for children from six months to four years of age and for families with children younger than six months.

"The current vaccination campaign against the A(H1N1) virus is for children from six months to four years of age and for families with children younger than six months.".....RNW, has any of your progressive, young reporters ever thought about doing some investigative reporting in the "Dutch municipal health service (GGD)" and see who else received the H1N1 injections at the same time or prior to the children and public at large? You might exclude those who work in the health services field. Checked to see how many mayors and other politicians, i.e., the P.M, or Mr. Wilders. It would be very interesting to see if the politicians and their families received preference over the public. I am sure a good, investigative reporter could dig-up the facts and write a news report. { The story is out there but who is going to go out and ask Wilders and the other politicians? Should they receive their injections before a child or before the public. They are no better than the public. You can alwayus elect more politicians!
