Does anyone know if the DOE is planning mandatory swine flu vaccinations? On the drudge report it states that all DOD military and important DOD civilians will be mandated (forced) to take it. NY is mandating it for 500,000 people. MA is working on forcing it for all citizens.
If you go past the media reporting, the story actually gets interesting. Do your own research.

The answer is No.
Remember that you are not a DOE employee, but work for a private company. DOD uniformed personnel and civilian employees directly work for DOD, and are subject to its rules on conditions of employment.
DOE's intrusive rules - polygraph, security clearances, safety, etc - are actually written into federal laws in order to force compliance by contractor employees.
Flu shots may be offered at the lab, but there is no way for DOE to force you to take one.
LLNL is not important any more. Therefore, no swine flu vaccine for you. Sorry.
Influenza vaccines are typically developed to cope with seasonal flu to minimize infection rates, yet influenza still kills about 500,000 people a year around the world. In June 2009, a strain of influenza derived from swine influenza was declared a pandemic (see 2009 flu pandemic). This new strain, Pandemic H1N1/09 virus, was antigenically different from the existing seasonal strains, requiring the production of a vaccine distinct from the 2009-2010 seasonal flu vaccine.
Developing, testing, and manufacturing sufficient quantities of a vaccine for H1N1/09 is a process which takes many months. Keiji Fukuda of the WHO said, "There’s much greater vaccine capacity than there was a few years ago, but there is not enough vaccine capacity to instantly make vaccines for the entire world’s population for influenza." [1] Nasal mist version of the vaccine started shipping in October 01, 2009.[2] Health care workers in the US states of Tennessee and Indiana are the first recipients of the H1N1 vaccine, while two-thirds of Americans plan to be vaccinated against the flu .[3].
I have also experienced of Swine Flue during the a+ training.
Thanks;
Why did you even post that cut and paste message from a foreign organization? It is false as well, half of Americans to not want this vaccine.
1) There is nothing in that post that is not factual. Prove to me it's false (and just because Glenn Beck said so doesn't make it true).
2) Most of vaccines are made in the UK or other locations overseas. Not in the US.
