Risking the Flu to Win the Election

President Bush and Senator Kerry have both decided against getting flu shots this year, freeing up two doses for those who really need the shot. A lot elected leaders -- just over a week away from the election -- are following that same plan. The Capitol doctor doled out 2,000 shots -- many to low risk takers -- before press reports shut down the shots. His remaining vaccine is now being turned over to the District of Columbia heath folks for folks who need it more. (Philadelphia Inquirer/WashPost)
