A " stop the shot " campaign has hit federal and state courts. This past

Friday, a group of New York doctors and health care workers asked a federal

judge in Washington, D.C., to order the federal government not to distribute

the H1N1 vaccine. Specifically, they're challenging the legality of the

licensing of the swine flu vaccine, alleging it was approved too quickly

without appropriate testing for safety and effectiveness. Furthermore, the

plaintiffs, who filed their suit in the U.S. District Court in the District of

Columbia, are seeking an immediate court order to halt mandated H1N1 flu

shots in New York state. That mandate is also facing a legal challenge in New

York state trial court in Manhattan, where a lawsuit on behalf of 60,000

state health care workers has been filed against the state health commissioner

to halt the required flu shots. A similar lawsuit has been filed in the

state of Washington, where the Washington State Nurses Association is suin g

a multifacility health care provider over a policy requiring nurses to get

vaccinated for both the seasonal and swine flu.
