As the first wave of
swine flu vaccine crosses the United States, more than a third of parents don't want their kids vaccinated, according to an Associated Press-GfK poll. Some parents say they are concerned about side effects from the new vaccine — even though nothing serious has turned up in tests so far — while others say swine flu doesn't amount to any greater health threat than seasonal flu.The poll found that 38 percent of parents said they were unlikely to give permission for their kids to be vaccinated at school.
