No Flu Shot For Me

Seeing as how there's a shortage of flu shots, I decided to do the right thing and not get one, so that more would be available for those who are at high risk. Evidently, a lot of people are asking their doctors for shots, even when they aren't in the high risk category. Some suppliers have been trying to charge pharmacies $800 for a shot that would normally cost $10. The elderly have had to wait in long lines for hours to get their shots. That's just wrong.

This is America. People who are young and healthy should forego their shots so that others in need can get them. It's the right thing to do. Tell your friends not to get shots unless they really need them, and tell them you aren't going to either, and neither is your friend Dave. You don't need to mention the fact that I never get flu shots. It wouldn't be as effective. :)
