Err... Its the governments job to oversee and track medical care. BUT.. and a big but(t) here.. they don't actually give out shots. Medical care in america is overseen by private companies. The government (CDC) helps determine which strain of flu might be dangerous next year. A PRIVATE company takes samples of the flu strain and makes the shots. This is distributed to private doctors practices, and paid for by insurance companies. There are public health clinics (most are NOT associated with the government, but rather charities), but they pay the company for doses of the flu shots.


Me.. I would trust the government more than private companies. In theory, at least, they are supposed to serve the people. Companies are just supposed to make a buck.
