Met Police considers swine flu vaccinations on-site for officers

The Metropolitan Police Service is considering arranging for a local nurse to administer the swine flu vaccination on-site to officers when it becomes available, to cause minimum disruption to police work.

It would be the first time the Met has organised for a mass immunisation within police premises in a bid to avoid heavy interruption to shifts when potentially thousands of officers would seek to receive the jab, according to HR director Martin Tiplady.
