I agree that getting ppl innoculated at a high of rate as possible is an admiral goal.... I think it's just smart as an individual to take the precaution if it's available...
I read somewhere that there were some 80 million doses manufactured in a normal year there are some 70-75 million doses used... I maybe wrong on those numbers as I'm going from memory. The point being making more doeses doesn't do any good if ppl don't use them. This year more may have been used because of the scare.....

Your numbers are correct based upon last year's debacle.
However, last year we had the EXACT SAME problems with vaccine distribution. The problems have continued year-after-year and REQUIRE congressional investigation and possibly administrative DOJ review.
This is NOT a matter of "admirable goals"...this is a matter of US national security.
If we can not move flu vaccine for even 1/3rd of the nation, we have no hope of protecting our citizenry during an actual biological attack.
