I was SO disappointed with this story. My husband is a Citi employee, and he is no more eligible for their stock of H1N1 vaccine than he would be if he went to one of the hospitals offering a clinic. I waited in a long clinic line to have my children vaccinated, just like everyone else. Citi is following procedures, and spreading out the vaccines to multiple clinics simply gives people options about where to go AND keeps lines shorter. Should a pregnant woman at Citi be denied the vaccine just because of where she works? Should a father of a newborn be denied just because he's an executive? This is not a case of corporate suits sitting around and snorting flu-mist that was intended for children. The vaccine is only being offered to high-risk individuals, the SAME as with every other clinic. Will some 40-year old healthy person find a way to sneak in a shot? Maybe. But I'm pretty sure there are other healthy, low-risk individuals who have found a way to get a shot at clinics all over this country. Stop feeding the fear of the vaccine shortage and adding to the hatred of people based simply on where they work.

My son works on Capital Hill and tells me that the Senate received H1N1 vaccine doses several week ago. They are giving to high risk groups only (hopefully), but I wonder if NBC is as "outraged" about that as they are about Goldman Sacs. Please tell the whole story and let us decide whom we should direct our anger.

As the head of the local Medical Reserve Corps (an all-volunteer nonprofit), I've participated in pandemic influenza planning for years. Dr. Snyderman's reports are usually right on, so I was disappointed she didn't mention that hospitals do not have the capacity to vaccinate large numbers of people and, for that reason, many CHOSE to order only limited quantities of the vaccine.

The Federal government worked hard to encourage employers to create vaccination plans for their employees and the employees' families because this would be the way to get the most people vaccinated in the shortest length of time. It is, of course, the Federal govenrment's responsibility to assure vaccine shipments are allocated according to the numbers of high-risk individuals at each location, whether that location is a business, hospital, local health department, or private medical practice.

In our own area, Georgia's East Metro Health District, we have organized mass vaccination clinics at the public health department locations and plan to shortly hold special vaccination clinics at local high schools as well.

Since, this H1n1 is a new type of flu we are dealing with and knowing there is a shortage, there should be some change to these corporate companies in getting the vaccines. Our government should have changed the policy. My 11 year old daughter was not eligble for the vaccine 2 weeks ago but it was too late when they finally changed the criteria of who can get the vaccine because she got the H1N1 this past week. I'm a pharmacst and I can't even get the vaccine because I am not eligible even on the criteria list. Only healthcare workers consider are nurses,Md and EMT. This is wrong.

Veterans!? What about the children? They are our future! Also, if one person sneezes in an Elementary school, 400 kids get sick. Wall Street needs to be grown ups and wash there hands and stay home if they are sick. Use your brains ppl!

I think we are all good enough to stand in line together... I don't care who they are or how much money they make. They are no better than the rest of us who don't even have the shot near us. Does this amount of shots count for the states total? Are other state missing out because this company got them instead? I'm in Maine and my daughter who is at risk has not even had shots made available yet. Her schools systems clinics have been cancelled because they do not have the shot; we are in the southern part of the state were it is wider spread. Will I lose my child to an illness which should have been controlled with the normal flu shot? Can I sue wall street if that happens? This is ridiculous.

I have been checking my childs pediatric office website for availability of the shot and they have not received any yet. I live in Seattle, WA and the doctors office also privided a link with estimates on # of doses ordered, by provider type and the county overall has only received approximately 9% of total orders and for Family Practice it is only 8%. This is the county website so I have to trust it right? But this is pretty low and quite frustrating by now! The news should stop touting that there will be enough for all those who need it until it is actually available.

I find this to be such a slap in the face to all of us who have already been hurt financially by Wall Street. My daughter-in-law is a pediatrician who spends much of her day explaining to worried parents that she doesn't have the vaccine and doesn't know when she will receive it. I also have 3 beautiful grandchildren that should be vaccinated. This to me is appalling. I have placed calls to my Senators, Representatives and to the Speaker of the House........WAKEUP!!!!!!!

My son is a paramedic who has transported victims of HIN! and neither he, nor his coworkers can get the shot. The county is taking all the vaccine, dispite the fact that these first line medical responders should be higher on the priority list.

Goldman Sachs gets 200 doses. They must really be the endangered group with all the stolen billions. See http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/11/05/swine-flu-vaccine-banks-g_n_346907.html

Unbelievable! Yesterday I hear that Citi is doubling interest rates on consumers (citizens who bailed them out and kept their business alive) and today that Wall St firms getting H1N1 vaccine doses! I can't get a H1N1 shot for my 8 month old - my pediatrician (and her son) are actually defering to high risk patients and yet companies are getting them? I am outraged, alarmed, confused and can't understand how doctors offices are being side-lined.

How do these WS firms determine whether the person they are providing the H1N1 vaccinations are actually high-risk? They are not medical organizations, and I bet they don't have HIPAA forms available at the time of vaccination. They are violating the patients right to privacy about medical conditions. Many, far too many companies still find "legal" ways to dismiss people with medical conditions just for the idea they are lowering health costs for the other employees. This even happens at state health departments.

I think this is disgraceful; you have kids and pregnant women who are at high risk. I am a nurse, and because I only work part-time, I have been unable to get the vaccine from my employer. Go figure that. These firms are behaving selfishly and without concern for the high risk population. Shame on them!

I say we give Wall Street what they really deserve, not a vaccine, a firing squad.

This is Obama's Katrina. Kanye West might have said that infamous line about Bush, well, here is mine: President Obama doesn't care about American people!

I would love to blame WS, but really... it's our government that spoon feeds them. They wine like little babies and get what they want. I would never expect them to donate the unused vaccines after they distribute them to the high-risk employees. Are you kidding... there's more money to be made, interest rates to hike, and people to screw! Why, with all the scheming yet to be done, they don't have time to get sick!

No. What is the rationale for prioritizing Wall Street employees? It's not like these people are pregnant. Actually they knocked up the public, not themselves.

My son has a blood disorder and he is not eligible for the H1N1 shot. There is no reason for the corporate big wigs to get a vaccine ahead of people who really need it. While I waited in line at my doctor's office to get my young daughters vaccinated a very sick woman pleaded with them to let her get the shot because she was suffering from breast cancer! Sadly they told her no she did not qualify. I think about that woman everyday and I pray that she is able to get a vaccine.
