Over the last few weeks I have been going around the Denver metro area giving flu shots at public clinics. But there has not been enough vaccine to go around. And we ve had to give people numbers and cut off the line when the doses ran out. Some people have been very up tight about this and others have been simply grateful that after waiting in line for two hours they were able to get one at all.
People are both angry and scared.
I would like to address some misconceptions about the flu in general and to also say that who so desires will eventually be able to get their shots. Whether the shots are late or not, depends on one s immune system. Flu clinics are usually begun in early October and by early November they re all done. This year this was not the case. We began the flu clinics in November.
