Zurich, Switzerland (GenevaLunch) - A vast majority of Swiss are not interested in getting a swine flu (A/H1N1) vaccination, when the campaign starts in two weeks time, according to a survey by pollster Isopublic conducted late last week, and published 1 November. Of 606 people around Switzerland surveyed, 86.4 percent of the representative sample said they were not afraid of the flu virus and would not be getting flu shots. Most of the people polled were aware of the government’s information campaign, but discarded the dangers.

The government has bought 13 million doses, and has said the vaccinations could begin 16 November, after several delays.
