This is the time of year people began lining up to be vaccinated for the flu. Every year there seems to be a problem with the vaccine. In 2001 there was a production problem. Last year the flu got off an early and severe start, causing serious illnesses so there was a rush to get vaccinated and manufactures sold out early. I did not get my vaccination till the middle of November. This year's vaccine has a production problem similar to 2001. 56 million doses of vaccine were cotaminated and will not be shipped to the US, only people over 65 and a few more special groups will be able to get this years vaccine. There are going to be a lot of very sick people this year. There are three strain's this year B/Shanghai, A/ New Caledonia, and A/ Fujian, the worst of the group. This year I received the vaccine on October 4, one day before the announcement of the shortage, hopefully I will not be one of the sick people this year.
It is very sad to see how the goverment and the drug companies work, I think it is all a scam,,,,,,glad to hear you got your shot !!!! They were lined up last Sunday at HEB and they were of all ages !!!!
