Shortage? What shortage?
Looks like it's pretty easy to get a flu shot- if you work on Capitol Hill. All you have to do is tell the Capitol Hill doctor that you're in a risk group, and he'll give you a shot, no questions asked.
I understand the logic that says it would be easy for them to catch the flu because of the sheer number of people they meet each day. But, still... if they're young and healthy, it means feeling bad for a few days. If someone who really needs the shot and doesn't get it because of these guys, then that person might die. Someone like my mom.
No matter who you are... if you're young and in good health, don't get the flu shot. If you're on the list, then get the shot. Just because you're a government official doesn't make you a special case. Get over yourself.
