Guest guest Posted October 14, 2004 Report Share Posted October 14, 2004 Hi and , I heard on the news that they are price gouging the shots. Honestly what is next? You have the Money, you get the Shot. First of all this shouldn't be happening, but the only thing I can think of is the elderly seniors who have a hard enough time managing their monthly check to cover food and prescriptions. I do believe that this ( contamination of the vaccines) won't happen again. I think the government was caught off guard and the UK company who was manufacturing them didn't say a word until the UK governement shut them down. Just think we could have had contaminated vaccines coming into the US and all those people would be deathly ill, or worse could have died. I really do hope those who choose to get the shot are able to find a place that has them available.
