Pilots Punished for Refusing Vaccine
By AMY FORLITI Associated Press Writer

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) - At least a dozen Indiana Air National Guard pilots in
Fort Wayne are barred from flying for refusing an anthrax vaccination
required for an upcoming mission overseas, pilots say.

Members of the 122nd Fighter Wing, which is scheduled to be sent to the
Middle East in April, have until Sunday to begin the series of six shots. The
vaccination program had been voluntary until now.

``Everybody is worried about safety,'' said Capt. Bruce Everett, a commercial
pilot barred from flying for the Guard in January for refusing the vaccine.
``I don't know if it's unsafe. All I know is that there hasn't been enough
research to prove that it is safe.''

The Pentagon has ordered all of its 2.4 million active and reserve personnel
be inoculated against anthrax, a deadly germ that can be used in biological
warfare.

About 200 to 300 people have refused the vaccine so far, according to the
Pentagon. Several men and women have been prosecuted, and many reservists
have quit because of the shots.

Twelve pilots now barred from flying at Fort Wayne plan to resign or transfer
to avoid inoculation, said Everett, Lt. Col. Tom Heemstra and two other
pilots who spoke on condition of anonymity.

Lt. Col. Perry Collins, chief of staff of the 122nd Fighter Wing, confirmed
only that some pilots are not being allowed to fly. He said squadron
commanders do not want to spend money training the pilots until they decide
to stay with the base.

The Guard said those who refuse to take the vaccine by Sunday's deadline will
be disobeying a written order and could face additional penalties, including
discharge.
