The health department here has been unbelievably incompetent regarding the H1N1 vaccinations. Having cocked up at the beginning when high risk people were denied the priority vaccinations deemed essential for the chronic conditions while thousands of others of low risk were vaccinated, they finally managed to hold three clinics this week for people whose health was likely to limit their travelling ability due to mobility issues or with conditions that meant they couldn't drive.
Where did they hold them? That's right, out of town. Not one was on a direct bus route and one needed a transfer using a bus that runs every hour. So unhealthy people without their own transport were faced with lengthy waits at bus stops followed by three or four hours in a queue.
Or $40 to $60 for a taxi and a long wait.
Then, this morning, the radio announces that "Now that the priority groups have been taken care of....."
Yeah, right.
