Flu Shot Dispensers at Risk of Being Fined
From Times Wire Reports
Gov. James E. McGreevey signed legislation in Trenton that would steer flu vaccines to at-risk people and allow fines against healthcare providers who gave the shots to those less vulnerable.
The measure sets a $500 civil fine against doctors and others who vaccinate people at low risk for flu complications. Some other states impose penalties including jail time for such actions.
