The flu vaccine problem in this country needs to be handled differently.
I’m no expert on vaccinations, but there really should be a different way of getting the vaccine into the hands of people that need it the most. There is no reason for a 76-year old grandma or grandpa (lugging around an oxygen tank or standing there on a walker) to stand in line for six friggin’ hours to get a shot and then to get turned away because they run out of doses.
The report that an elderly lady died waiting for a shot really struck a nerve with me.
She apparently fainted from exhaustion, hit her head and died from her injuries.
Can’t the flu vaccine be administered orally and be sold at the local pharmacy, or supermarket, or wherever, and let people buy the damned things on their own time along with their groceries or other pills?
There has to be an easier way to do this.
Kerry and Bush are blaming one another for the shortage. They ought to shut up and fix the problem!
