Last year, and in the years before that, there were public announcemants all over the television BEGGING people to get the flu shot. I remember these flu shot "campaigns".
In 2003, they were throwing the stuff away because so much was left over (sorry, heard on radio dr. show, so no source)
Now, all of the sudden thousands of people are having to "go without". BS, I say! Most doing without it this year, have done so every year before now. . .including myself.
That's true, in 2003 there was more supply than demand and 3-4 million doses were discarded -- but there was also nearly twice as much supply in 2003 compared to this year.
