I am a healthcare worker and I have no direct patient contact, yet I am being forced to get a series of 3 shots (1 for seasonal flu, 2 for H1N1). I have no problem with shots for things that you will have continued immunity for (ex. Hepatitis B, Tetanus), but this virus could mutate next week, making these vaccines completely useless. Add to that the fact that this has been rushed to production, and I am doubly hesitant. I would rather you stuck a swab with H1N1 up my nose, at least then I would know what I was getting. What about every visitor to the hospitals, should they be forced to be vaccinated? What about delivery personnel? What about vendors? Should we also be forced to be vaccinated for SARS, Hunta virus, avian flu, or any other virus du jour that the media is hyping?
They are taking 5hrs per unit because the calculation time had to be increased in order for it to be accepted for grid computing. The more you know.....

H1N1 may indeed be pandemic in NYS, but it's still not as prevalent as corruption.
Amen brother! I thought that making a decision such as mandated vaccination shouldn't be left up to a single individual. Perhaps this is why......

I'm running Tivo desktop on WinXP, never had a problem with it crashing.
I imagine large institutes with many of the same old p2 pc's that have older mobo's that can't support faster processors.
National Medical Laboratory Week, so give props to the lab geeks!
