This is Great!!! Does anyone know if they will be doing the Swine Flu shot soon at the schools?

You've GOT to be kidding! Schools are for learning; health departments and private physicians are for vaccinations!

Any parent who let's their child be vaccinated at school is so very STUPID. Actually, any parents that let's their child be vaccinated with an "untested" vaccine has severe mental problems! No vaccine can be thoroughly tested within just a few short months.

So now we line children up at school to be the governments guinea pigs? This is horrifying!

IDIOT its the regular flu Vaccine. Not the H1N1 Vaccine those are not available yet. This is the same shot that people line up for every year.

Regardless, vaccines should NOT be given at the schools!

So what your saying is don't let those of low income and no insurance get any help. Because basically that is what this is doing. Some schools have someone come in and give the flu shots to the teachers so they don't have to take a day off to get them and they can still teach our children and be protected by the vaccine. Its nice to know that some people just don't want to help anyone. Besides I am sure that if you don't want your child Vaccinated you will be able to let them know and your child won't be so don't knock those who may have no other way to get the vaccine.
