I think that the vaccines must be tested before giving them out. Swine flu hasn't caused many deaths so why give out vaccines? Vaccines weaken the human immune system.
Regardless of religion, nationality or race, everyone has equal rights in the UAE. So don't worry Jason.

I thought everything in Dubai is nationality based then why worry about the medical or the religion?

I agree with Mr. Blick, Dubai. My priority would be all healthcare workers looking after already infected people. What will you do if there is no more nurse or doctor looking after the patients? These people are at high risk to contain H1N1 although all infection control measures are in place.

Decisions on who to give the vaccine first to should be made on medical not religious grounds. To prioritise members of a certain religion who are taking part in a voluntary activity is discriminatory and ignores vulnerable members of society.
