I always take note when doctors file any sort of a lawsuit since doctors are generally supportive of measures to limit lawsuits against doctors. This one jumped out at me because doctors are trying to prevent the distribution of the flu vaccine, which is a bit unusual to say the least.
A "stop the shot" campaign has hit federal and state courts. This past Friday, a group of New York doctors and health care workers asked a federal judge in Washington, D.C., to order the federal government not to distribute the H1N1 vaccine. Specifically, they're challenging the legality of the licensing of the swine flu vaccine, alleging it was approved too quickly without appropriate testing for safety and effectiveness.
Furthermore, the plaintiffs, who filed their suit in the U.S. District Court in the District of Columbia, are seeking an immediate court order to halt mandated H1N1 flu shots in New York state. New York has ordered that all health care workers receive the H1N1 vaccine or risk losing their jobs.
