Default H1N1

basic question. Should high risk prisoners get the H1N1 shot before those at risk in the "outside" world?

All at high risk inside or outside the walls should come first.

What a stupid poll & question. Inmates are humans like you and me, whenever a human needs help or treatment he should get it. For the swine flu viruses plays it no role where they will break out, inside or outside a prison. Thatīs why it has to play no role who becomes the shots at first.

Andreas,

I agree its a stupid poll and question but its all over the media in the United States. That is why I posted it, to get peoples opinions.

I think the root of the problem is there is not enough vaccine for the people that need to get it either inside the prison system or in the "real" world.

It's not just in the States in the media,but Andreas is right why make a difference between out and inside?We are all human beings.
So who will need it should get it,doesn't matter if in or out.

Being as I am still recovering from Swine flu and may now have secondaries, i feel inmates should get the vacine because at least in the comfort of your home you have a chance of getting better but in prison how many times do you have to request medical attention before you get it

As a person who lived through the SARS outbreak
in Toronto I think this is all much ado about nothing.

Maybe just media fear.

All the attention on who first and availability, seems to draw the attention away of, wonder how safe and effective this shot is?
