Socialized Medicine Fail: Britain May Have to Ration Flu Vaccine

There is nothing worse than socialized medicine.

The Telegraph reported:

Healthy people buying the flu jab have compounded shortages in the NHS and left those at greatest risk struggling to get the vaccine, claimed Dr Clare Gerada, the chairman of the Royal College of GPs. Pharmacies and GPs are reporting that they have run out as thousands seek protection from the worst winter flu outbreak in a decade.

Dr Gerada said that allowing those who could afford it to buy the jab had upset the “delicate balance” of availability and contributed to shortages, leading to general concern about who should and should not have the vaccine.
