Does anyone here think it is not fair for only selected people to receieve the flu shot?I think everyone should be able to get them what has this world come to?Running out of medicine?Being greedy with the flu shots?Thank god I myself don't believe in them or take them!

well flu is a minor illness with the majority of people surviving. the only reason they are given to specific groups is certain groups are more at risk from complications, I am asthmatic and the flu could kill so I am offered the jab every year some years I take it some I don't. Thats the only reason they are selective who they give it too, in an ideal world everyone would be offered it but alas we don't live in an ideal world.

Yup, their should be no discrimination and everybody need to be given a flu shot irregardless of ages, races and genders. The government need to know the right allocation of people and should be within their budget as one way to protect their citizen it should work on to increase the supply and availability of the flu shoot for everyine to benefit on it as not everyone have strong immune system which could find the resistance against the flu.
