After a frustrating wait for those seeking a shot against the novel influenza A H1N1 virus, some injectable vaccine is finally becoming available in the Augusta area.
The clinics are only for those in the priority group: pregnant women; those 6 months to 24 years old; adults ages 25 to 64 with underlying health conditions that put them at greater risk of complications from flu, such as asthma and diabetes; health care workers; and caregivers of those younger than 6 months.

Take a look at the people in photo # 2. They do not fit into any of the priority group categories. But I'll bet they got a shot anyway.
Apparently, you can now look at a picture on the internet to determine whether or not someone has asthma or diabetes - as well as if they work in a high risk field like the healthcare industry.
It's brilliant.
little lamb, how can you tell what kind of medical conditions those people have by the way they look? It's people like you that love to assume!! I agree with you spiffey...just stupid
beachbum; very good info. Keep telling folks. Informed decisions are so important.
Looks like medical rationing has already started for those folks 65 and over. Freedom is slowly slipping away.
The people in Group#2 looked under 24 to me. 24 years, not months. And the man looked like he was about 60. I don't understand your post, Little Lamb.
Taiwan’s Premier Wu Den-yih announced that a New Energy Committee established on Oct. 29, 2009 would help Taiwan become a major producer of energy and energy technologies. Minister without Portfolio Lian Chi-yuan will preside over the committee, and the Ministry of Economic Affairs (MOEA) will handle administrative affairs. Wu noted that low-carbon policies to achieve Taiwan’s goal of being a “low-carbon nation” will improve Taiwan’s energy structure and bring growth to the production and technology development sectors.
The MOEA proposed an action plan for the Dawning Green Energy Industry Program, which will use comprehensive strategies to enhance the production value, increase private-sector investment, and create jobs in Taiwan’s green energy industries. In addition, the MOEA established technical and business service teams for green energy industries.
