I went to the Dr this week and found out the government has done a great job in getting the vaccine to the doctors in the country. They bought up all the vaccine and then make the decision on who gets it. They don't call and tell how much you are getting or when it's coming. Better still they have to figure out something for storage. Nice work government on this one. It makes it easy for clinics to notify high risk patients--NOT.

The problem is

Minneapolis, MN

The problem is that the most vulnerable people are contraindicated for the FluMist.

People probably aren't getting it because they aren't considered "high risk". My clinic has the vaccines but I can't get one because I'm not in that category. My 1-year-old is in the high risk category, but also can't get the vaccine because they don't have the preservative-free.
