THE OBJECTIONS
Some are suspicious of the new vaccine because the government's swine flu vaccine in 1976 caused some people to contract Guillain-Barré syndrome, a sometimes deadly nervous-system disorder. (They are different vaccines based on two different viruses).
Others see this as an issue of workers' rights, that the government should not be allowed to require vaccinations.
SHUNNING THE VACCINE
Several groups are opposed to vaccination of any kind, often citing philosophical reasons. Here is a look at some of the vaccine objectors.
Some health care workers are opposed to mandatory vaccination, but not to all vaccines.
Parents of children with autism spectrum disorders have long objected to vaccinations, based on the widely disputed notion that autism-related conditions are caused by vaccines and vaccine additives.
People with allergies to eggs oppose flu shots because eggs are used in vaccine production.
