That's smart. Health officials say the vaccine is reserved for the very young and the elderly because they're fragile and at greatest risk. Then they require them to stand in line for hours in the hot sun to get the shot. I love government provided medical care!

Barbara Simpson seems to be confused.

Immediately above she writes:

In a town 10 miles away, two other elderly women, 76 and 83, wound up in the hospital after collapsing from the heat while standing outside a store waiting for their shots.

What does a supermarket selling flu shots (usually at a steep discount) to their customers have to do with government heatlh care? The local store I frequent does the same thing for their customers and the government has nothing to do with it.
