A group of New York doctors and health-care workers who are to be among the first inoculated against swine flu asked a federal judge to void U.S. approval of the vaccine until more safety tests are done.
Rima Laibow, a physician, nurse Suzanne Field and four other New York residents filed the suit in federal court in Washington today. They claim a state law requires them to get the vaccine, putting their health at risk from an unproven treatment and their livelihoods at risk if they refuse.
