The Austin American Statesman recently posted an article about how prison officials in Texas had stated that pregnant prisoners would receive the H1N1 influenza virus before non criminal persons. It was also reported that other prisoners would possible receive the shot. It has even been proposed that death row inmates could receive the shot if medically needed.
What is going on with our govt? I mean these people are convicted criminals. They already receive free housing, clothing, food and they get cable T.V.. I know lots of people that are not in jail that don't even have cable. Now we are possibly going to give them vaccinations when people that are not incarcerated can't even get doses. Really?
The only reason I can see the local govt. doing this is for the pregnant women just for the fact that the babies need the protection and it is not their fault their parent is in jail. The second reasin is so that the prison population does not have an outbreak and spread it to the jailers that have not received the shot.
