60% German Doctors will refuse to participate in the mass vaccination programme

Sixty per cent of doctors in the German federal state of Nordrhein Westfalen have said they are not prepared to participate in the mass "swine flu" vaccination campaign, according to a survey by a regional doctor's health insurance assocation.

Doctors participating in the mass vaccination programme have to be ready to give the jabs in "tents in market squares if necessary", according to Ruth Bahners from the association.

Doctors will be allocated to work in special "vaccination centers" in government buildings or on public spaces such as market squares in what is surely going to be not only the biggest but also the most bizarre mass vaccination campaign in history.
