Yes the CDC does a good job, but I wish the manufacturers would remove the thimerosal preservative from all the influenza vaccine products.

No, the CDC should do more to track influenza activity patterns, not only in the U.S. but worldwide from year to year.

No, there is not enough oversight of influenza vaccine development.

No, influenza vaccine development seems to be a guessing game since it is based on last year's influenza activity.
