Science Podcasters Encourage H1N1 Vaccination

Because the spread of unwarranted fears about the safety of the new vaccine against H1N1 Influenza ("Swine Flu") Marc Pelletier, PhD from Futures in Biotech and Vincent Rancaniello, PhD from This Week in Virology have teamed up to record a public service announcement to encourage vaccination. Their announcement addresses safety and side effects, which are expected to be similar to those from any flu vaccine.

I have prepared a slightly expanded version (2 minutes long) of their announcement, which I encourage you to share with others.

Listen to the announcement.
