This article is about the swine flu, and the large amounts of people that are lining up for the swine flu vaccine. People are being turned because they are trying to save the vaccine for children, but now people are lying in order to get vaccinated. Is there a right or wrong way to distribute the vaccine? What would you do if you were faced with the decision of choosing who gets the flu vaccination.

i think that if someone wants it they should give it to them but all the people with weak immune systems that get sick easily should be the top priority
ReplyDeleteThe swine flu has had a horriable effect on our nation. It has many adults, childern, and teens very sick. I dont thinnk there is a right or worng way to distribute the vaccine. Everyone has a right to get the vaccine. I think everyone should get this vaccine so everyone can have a less risk of getting the swin flu. If i had to chose who gets the swine flu i would have to chose the little chirldren first and then the women who are going to have babys and then the teenns and then the older adults. They say that the age group for the higher risk of getting the swine flu are kids and teens.
ReplyDeletei think the way they should distribute the swine flu vaccine should be like this. 1-children 8 and younger and doctors 2-pregnant women 3-people over the age of 65 4-everyone else. people lying to get the vaccination is just wrong, many people have got the h1n1 flu and are fine.
ReplyDeletewell everyone should have to get it but if children our more vonersable then they should get it first.if i was in charge of who got the vaccine i would probably say kids cause there more vonerable and we dont need our death rate going up.
ReplyDeleteThere is a swine flu epidemic going on in the town and the general vacinity of Tyrone. Just a day or two ago there was a class in the Tyrone elmentary school that had about 22 kids absent from what was believed to be the swine flu. A few of my friends have had the swine flu and are now perfectly fine, one of them even said that the swine flu is not as bad as the regular flu. I am not worried about getting it and therefore I will most likely not be recieving the shot but if you are in fear of getting the swin flu then you may want to take the shot or nasal mist into consideration. In my opinion there is no right or wrong way to distribute the vaccine. I believe that anyone who is fearing swine flu or just wants to make sure they dont get it, gets the shot. If I was faced with the decision of choosing who gets the flu vaccine I would let everybody who wants to get the vaccine to know that they may have it if they really truely want it. I recommend the vaccine to anyone who doesn't want the swine flu. The swine flu is a very big contriversal issue and I say that if you want the vaccine, go out to where they give them and get it!
ReplyDeleteThere is no right or wrong way to tell people that they can or cannot get the vaccine,these people who are 65 or older cant tell you wether or not you can get te vaccine or not they dont own it.If i had to tell people either yes they can have it or no they cant i would say im sorry you cant have it it is for children.
ReplyDeleteA lot of people are being very greedy about getting this vaccination. Lying to doctors about pregnancy’s and various illnesses that would put people higher up on the list. I think that people of the younger ages and real pregnant ladies should be first in line. And anyone that is self-fish enough not to care about there fellow Americans that really are in harm is just awful.
ReplyDeleteSwine flu is beginning to become as bad as AIDS except that swine flu now has a vaccine. All children are more prone to this disease that they need the vaccine before adults. Some adults were trying to vaccinate before the kids did but were not allowed to get injected with the Swine flu cure.
ReplyDeleteI would first make sure that all working people got the shot, Then all children. If there was any left i would give it to the people who hadnt gotten it yet. I think this would be the best way because it would not spread as much if the workers did not get it.
