Today the husband, the daughter and I trotted down to the health department to get our swine flu shots. The line goes around the block - almost half a city block. I get out to get in line, Paul dries the neighborhood. The guy comes out and says, there are too many people, you aren't getting shots. I get a hold of Paul, we walk back to the car. We both say grumpily - why doesn't our doctor have this damn shot. Then we realize this is government vaccine distribution. And our bleeding hearts stopped for a little while.
My friend just called, she waited 2 hours and they miscounted, so she didn't get her shot either. OOFF!!

Why do you hate Obama?!?!?!
I have 4 kids who can't get an appointment to get regular flu shots.
This shouldn't stop your bleeding hearts for two reasons. First, the shortage for H1N1 is to be expected because the vaccine is proving slower to culture than they thought (thank you NPR) so I'm giving them a pass, for now.
And second, it should make your hearts bleed harder for a national health care system that is more centralized and can streamline this distribution process.
I tried after calling twice to verify that we could our shots and the information was wrong. The COUNTY health department "had no idea it would be this busy." Seriously? Have you been in a cave for the last 9 months? How did you not see this rush coming?
