This article is about the swine flu, and the large amounts of people that are lining up for the swine flu vaccine. People are being turned because they are trying to save the vaccine for children, but now people are lying in order to get vaccinated. Is there a right or wrong way to distribute the vaccine? What would you do if you were faced with the decision of choosing who gets the flu vaccination.

    I think that the flu vaccine should be distributed throughout the schools ad doctors offices should get them too. If i was faced with the decision to get the vaccine i would probabaly say no. I know a couple people who got them and got sick after they got them. Id rather just wait until i get sick then treat it.

    i think this is kind of wrong because not only children can get the swine flu...older people can die faster from it so maybe it should be evenly distributed with everyone no body should be turned away for trying not to get sick.if it were me i would probably give the vaccination to anyone that needed it. its not like we can run out you can always get more.

    I think that them giving the vaccines to younger children first is a good idea; if I had to make the desision that would be it. But I would also try and give it to people who were midle aged and had children. I think they should give the shots to the schools so they dont have people lying about being pregnent ect.

    no as long as you get the vaccine it shouldnt matter how you get it. whether its the shot or the nasal spray, it doesnt matter.

    i feel that newborns should be the first to recieve the vaccine first. then it should go up in importance by age. kids my age i feel needs it more than a 30 year old. it is showed that it is a flu that affects younger kids more than older people

    well in my opinion i think the kids should get it first. the older people could be next. then the sick in hospitals. so the swine(h1n1) won't be spred so easly. but truely i think if you want the vacine you can get it when you want.
    so pretty much i dont think there is a wrong or right way.
