To be fair, being a doctor or nurse doesn't necessarily make someone an expert on flu vaccinations. Sure most doctors are probably in a better position to comment on the subject, but they aren't all experts on it.

It's the same as other professions. Would you ask a chemical engineer to have a look at the desing of your roof truss? Sure he probably knows more about it than a non engineer, but he's no expert.
