Flu vaccine

I was one of the many people who couldn't get a flu shot this year. Since my husband and I both have asthma, I was unhappy with that. I was even more unhappy when I learned recently that the FDA knew about Chiron's problems over a year ago, and did nothing about it. They didn't even let the company know about sanitation problems they had detected.

I don't even know what to say about such stunning incompetence, in an area of public health that is life and death for many people.
