<<I thought most companies did that nowadays because it costs them less to inoculate everyone than to have people out with the flu.>>

It's nuts this year, two major insurance companies, two universities, three hospitals and all the doctors in town haven't been able to get the shots. I got mine yesterday from the county that has oodles of them at $30. Medicare part B covers the shots. Last year one clinic in town had them but there was a shortage elsewhere. They ran ads and sold them for $60. Had been $7 in years before.
