Dear Editor, This year

Dear Editor,
This year’s flu-shot debacle is a life-and-death story that isn’t being properly covered in my opinion. I hope the Times is on top of the local angle. In case, you don’t know, here is what is going on.
Very early last Thursday people were queuing up at the Safeway Store on Dunne Avenue for flu shots. This is the only place in town where they have been available. The clinic had only 30 vaccines to give out. It was over in a blink. The clinic scheduled at Walgreen’s had been canceled. The Safeway line began forming hours before the scheduled 10am opening.
It was largely a senior crowd with walkers, wheelchairs and oxygen bottle carts. People were in a conga line that went up and down most of the aisles in the store and out the front door to the parking lot. The crowd was well behaved and civil to each other. The lot was chock full of cars and would-be shoppers had a hard time shopping because of the huge crowd.
