Not all hospitals are on board with the vaccine.

Officials at Grady Memorial Hospital in Atlanta and Virginia Commonwealth University in Richmond said yesterday that the risk of dangerous side effects of the vaccine and inadvertent transmission to patients outweighs the remote threat of an attack with a virus that has not been seen since the 1970s.

Officials at three other large medical centers - Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, Emory Medical Center in Atlanta, and the University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics - are leaning against inoculating their staffs.
