Vaccination for the A/H1N1 virus began early this month, but the public remains dubious about the need for it, despite surging incidence.
Health Minister Dana Jur?skov? dismissed allegations that her ministry is responsible for the low numbers of swine flu vaccinations among the general public, instead blaming the media and what she called self-appointed swine flu experts.
Her comments came as the swine flu death toll more than doubled in the past week from 11 to 27 with more than 900 infected.
At least one university is terminating studies ahead of schedule to prevent the spread of the A/H1N1 virus.
