yes, however, that was when the small pox vaccine was actually available.

Here in the USA, a doctor can NOT buy the vaccine.

I have tried.

According to local health care agency employees, the vaccine can not be purchased because the state controls the supply.

CAN YOU PLEASE TELL YOUR CONGRESSMAN that it is STUPID to have a gov't monopoly on ANYTHING in the medical field!

Hey - who would be better suited to run a vaccine program than the gov't. Look at this season's flu vaccine - plenty to go around, good quality control, and it really did the trick. /sarcasm

Finally -- someone as upset as I am over this!

I don't know how can the government PREVENT us from taking a very sensible action, which may save our lives. Or conversely, the government is putting our lives in danger unnecessarily, by not allowing people make an individual choice of whether or not to take the vaccine.
