at least 8 today. I cant count the number in the past week. EVERYONE reminds us that there is NO flu vaccine available and they are in a panic over this. I often wonder if they knew that most of my coworkers do not get a flue shot what they would do? :chuckle

What kills me is...

You used to not be able to GIVE the flu shot away...

Now...

A little media hype...

A little "shortage"...

A marketing dream come true...

Just a political aside to the "flu issue"

I love the comment from the White House about people not panicing...saying "it's not even flu season yet" (are you supposed to wait?!!??)

I wonder how many governamental types, who do NOT meet criteria, were vaccinated?

Hmmmm...

That reminds me of Senator Bill Frisk from Tennessee, who is a MD, allowing some government officials the use of his office for flu shots. Now supposedly, all of "his government officials" had to meet the same criteria the general public did, and none of them got a flu shot unless they did. I bet they all had criteria for some reason or another just because they are government officials.
