Maybe it’s because not as many people feel like they need it when there’s plenty to go around. Every time there’s a shortage it seems like the media always reports how WE SHOULD ALL PANIC BECAUSE ITS GOING TO BE THE WORST FLU SEASON EVER!!!!

Absolutely. Last year, when they did not have enough, people were lining up and waiting for hours to for the possibility of a flu shot. Then, when it became available, nobody wanted it anymore. Unbelievable! I guess that is the power of marketing.
