In it you’ll find the quote:

"Dr. Thomas R. Frieden, said last month that even though he expected a surge in swine flu deaths this winter and even though C.D.C. guidelines give health care workers first priority for the new vaccine, he would not push to make vaccinations mandatory. ‘This is just not the right flu season to take this on,’ said Dr. Frieden, who previously was the New York City health commissioner."
