leaders. this is the vice president's third trip to iraq this year. swine flu fears have many counting down the days until the vaccine is released. a recent rasmussen poll asked people how confident they are that enough testing has been done on the swine flu vaccine offered to americans. 14% said they were very confident. 39% said somewhat confident. 29% were not very confident. while 9% reported they were not confident at all. those numbers show a group of people concerned about the vaccine. and that includes many parents worried about having their children vaccinated. dr. ivan walks is on the maryland swine flu advisory board and he joins us this morning to weigh in on the facts about the new vaccine. good morning. >> good morning. >> now i've already said i'm going to play devil's advocate with you, as we're all about to make this decision to make the involve and vaccinate our kids. and my question is, is it too

fast? we know that will will be rolled out sooner than we thought. >> is it too fast? no. we have to get the vaccine out before we pass the flu season and then the vaccine is in the as helpful as it would be. >> and e real problem i would think is that this has emerged, which none of us have good immunity against because we haven't seen it in tom years and that's why the younger population is being affected. am i correct that assessment. >> because the virus is different, the younger population is being affected and because we don't have immune and haven't seen it before, all of us are at risk. we are concerned about younger folks. we're also concerned about younger folks with health problem. but there is concern if my kid is healthy and doesn't have a problem, there is a decision. but if your child has health

problems then you need to get your child vaccinated. >> and we all talk about the 1976 outbreak of that vaccine, and that was rolled out d had to be recalled. have we learned lessons from that 1976 flu vaccine batch? >> very, very different situation. but 240 soldiers, isolated thing. we thought it would spread, so the country got ramped up and got into this one lane. we'll get the vaccine out, give it to everyone and guess what? it didn't spread beyond those very few people. a lot of folks got the vaccine. we had some deaths. very, very different situation. we have this particular swine flu, h1n1, all over the world. we've had deaths in about 100 different countries. so you have already the pandemic. the question now is are we taking appropriate steps to make sure a lot more people don't get sick and don't die. and the other thing we don't think about, it's not just whether you and i should get the shot or our kids should get

the shot, but what about us spreading it to others. that is another part to talk about. >> let's pawk about this though. 36,000 people die of the regular flu. how does this stack up to that? do we know how rigorous this new strain might be? >> there are some studies that show when you get the seasonal flu and the swine flu together, the swine flu is stronger. and it will sort of outcompete the regular flu. now flu goes after people that are somewhat compromised. if you have a lung problem, this flu is different. it's going after yoger, healthier folks. and so you may say, well i'm healthy, i never got a flu shot. my kids are healthy and they firefighter got a flu shot. this is different. this is not your grandfather's flu. and i think we need to think about that when we're making that decision. >> are there any dange as far as you can see or is it too early to tell with this vaccine and i ask that because as a

pare when i go into my pediatricians office i want to weigh the options realistically. do you see any dangers -- mercury, we've heard about. that but do you see any of t dangers or things we should ask about when we get the shot. >> i plight get -- i might get in trouble for people. but i think you should use your own kiss and make your best judgment. i'm going to the doctor to get the doctor's opinion. i didn't go to medical school and i'm not a nurse or a doctor. and how am i going to decide if i can't. so i think we put our doctors on the spot. and let's understand first of all, the vaccine has been tested, but we don't know what will happen six months from now, a year from now because the testing was just recently done. so there are some unanswered questions. but what i'm going to do with my kid says, what tony bouche

says, you go to someone who knows more than you, and if they are credible, take their advice. so let's stop telling people use your best judgment and let's give people our best judgment as doctors and leaders and then i think you pay attention. there is an advisory board in maryland, the governor has been upfront from the beginning of swine flu, about what is going on, what he thinks, how he's getting his aice. and i would follow in a advice. >> in getting the shot? >> would give my kids the shot and get the shot myself. >> doctor, we appreciate it. why are you laughing? [ laughter ] >> over to you. >> these are the exact questions, so thank you, doctor, for coming in. if you missed that, we'll ge that on the website at myfoxdc.com. thank you very much. and getting that inspection sticker on your car is almost always a chore but things are changing for some in the area. >> reporter: the district is doing away with car safety

brakes but i would assume it won't be that much time if you have to come here any way. >> reporter: even the director of department of motor vehicles did not believe there was evidence to support that the safety inspections were making anything safer out there on the roadways for d.c. drivers. some people though, once they step back and take a look. they think maybe it's worth standing in line just to make sure your car i safe but at it point the city has made that decision. they'll going to save them some money and do away with those beginning october 1. allison. >> thank you. leo alexander is kicking off his camign for mayor. he's challenging adrian fentych the focus of his campaign includes attracting new business to the district and cutting poverty. alexander wants to cut out the
