What a Shame wrote on Oct 9, 2008 9:29 AM:

Why is it that someone working every day but is still in the "low income" bracket can go into the County health department and still have to pay the $28.00 for a shot, BUT is you are not working or are a illegal, a person can go into there and get flu shots for the entire family FOR ZILTCH, NOTHING, $00.OO. There has to be something wrong with this. The truth be known, things likd this is why the County Health Department has to ask people to pass a ballot measure to continue running as they are now. But they should not be giving away these shots or any other program that they have to someone that should not be here anyway. What a total waste of tax payer money. What a Shame. VOTE NO ON THE COOS COUNTY HEALTH DEPARTMENT BALLOT MEASURE.

first whats in the shot, and when it was made.

90% of these shots have mercury in them, and other stabilizers that aren't all that wonderful.

Its ok to ask, its youre right to know what you are injecting yourself with.
