83. The bottom line here is that not enough vaccine was ordered to be....
...manufactured for this flu season. Who made that idiotic decision? What were they thinking? Of course we have more flu than normal...but that was my point, wasn't it?

And then when the other doses arrived, a portion of those vaccinated became very ill, scaring off quite a few people who probably should have had the vaccine. The protion that became ill was a much larger portion than the average percentage of people that get il every year from the flu vaccine.

And finally, there is NO vaccine currently available to treat whatever version of the Avian Flu that breaks out and begins to infect a large portion of the population. Additionally, once the correct version of the Avian Flu is identified there is not enough time available to develop the necessary vaccine from that version and then get it into mass production.
