Thread Name: BS: FLU SHOT INFO
Subject: RE: BS: FLU SHOT INFO
Today we were told that we were no longer eligible, as teachers, to rcv. the flu vaccine unless we fit a list of criteria. Why the sudden change?

I think its because they are giving the vaccine to the Americans that are flooding across the border. Don't get me wrong, those at risk and the elderly should have it first, regardless of their country of origin. Isn't it so Canadian though?

The U.S. doesn't know how good they have it with us as neighbors. Can you imagine if it were the other way around? In the U.S. the shot would cost $10.00 but they would give it to us for $20.00 if there was any extra.
