[AT] O.T. whan flu vaccine?

[Howard Pletcher]

>From what I've seen on the news, there has been little preparation to
provide the people to give the shots.  Yes, MD's and nurses at the
hospitals are qualified IF the hospital has the refrigeration needed to
keep the vaccine cold, but most of these people are already working
overtime taking care of patients.

Walgreens and CVS seem to be hiring people and will be giving shots, but it
takes time to gear this up and get the people trained.  I don't know about
your states, but in many places, the shots are being given to medical
personnel, nursing homes, and some "essential" workers with other groups
including those over 65 being the next groups to be eligible
