    We can’t even get them anymore in the Netherlands, unless you have bad health and are also eligible for flu shots or are old enough (50+ afaik). I recently checked because I’d rather take another shot than be ill for a week. It kinda sucks but I also do kinda get it. The vaccines were at some point like €30 a piece. Spending that amount plus the infrastructure for everyone isn’t free either. So maybe it’s just not worth the collective cost anymore, for young and healthy people.

      Eligible for flu shots? Tf? In the US, almost all shots are 100% free. It’s the most cost effective way to keep people healthy. I thought you guys had healthcare?
