I'll bet $5 that at least a couple of hundred won't get it that the 'government' is providing them!

I paid $25 for the last one I got, down at the local pharmacy where a folding table was set up.

I've gotten a flue shot every year for decades. Always have had to pay for 'em. Cheapest ones available around here are $30 available at the Visiting Nurse Association.

Neither is the seasonal flu vaccine.

Sebelius confirmed that H1N1 vaccines will be free, but some healthcare providers may charge an administration fee. She added that the federal government is set to spend about $1.4 billion for states and hospitals to prepare for the virus.

Chips they will use to 'activate' the virus in conservatives, when Obama gives the word.

So... even if the shots are free... perhaps not too many. They're pretty fucking out there.

6. Yep, it's all part of Obama's population control scheme.

The vaccine is supposed to kill a bunch of people off. I expect a lot of teabaggers will avoid the shot.
