The chief of the German office for vaccinations (STIKO)...apparently came up and has told German doctors to get themselves immunized against the H1-N1 or Swine Flu virus.
This is part of the current debate going on because a number of doctors aren't taking the same view as the government. As for how legit this order might be....I'd be saying it probably is lacking in authority. There's virtually no one in Germany that can absolutely ordered to take the shot except the German military. The cops and firemen might have some kind of standing order...but so far it's not being advertised.
It's part of this debate being carried on. All of the political figures are pushing for the shot. Journalists are mostly reporting facts and leaving it to the public to decide. If I asked around my village....probably less than half are going to take the shot currently.
