It’s such a crap shoot if it will even work...unless you are elderly or infirm

If its offered for free and takes 5 minutes....why not get it?

You understand what a vaccine is, right?

RoyalCoug99

Yep. It didn't work. I don't have polio, etc. That worked.

He probably didn't get the flu, he got the stomach bug and like a million other

You're sounding the same arguments as the essential oils folks.

Always trust your government. They never lie

Linfurd

12/15/18 2:19pm

Uh....what? This story, done by a private company, is about people's opinions and never mentions the government

DapperDan

Who subsidizes the cost of the shot?

Linfurd

12/15/18 2:27pm

insurance companies

DapperDan

12/15/18 2:29pm

Nope

Linfurd

What facts are those?

rainorsnow

12/15/18 3:59pm

Insurance doesn't cover free shots provided thru Walgreens, Walmart, and public

Linfurd

12/15/18 4:10pm

Yes they do. What are you talking about?

PharmCoug

12/15/18 4:21pm
