GOP Complaints Nix Flu Shots at Polls

HOUSTON -- The city has stopped offering free flu shots at early voting sites after Republicans alleged it was a ploy by the mayor to lure more Democrats to the polls.

The vaccinations, for people 50 and over, had been offered at early voting sites in predominantly black and Hispanic neighborhoods. Health officials said they were targeting medically underserved areas, not Democratic neighborhoods....

Foundation officials say the program is a convenient way for older people, who are especially vulnerable to the disease, to get vaccinated from a disease that kills 32,000 people over 65 every year....

Harold Dickey, 81, arrived at one of the four polling sites where flu shots had been offered right after the mayor ended the program.

"That's a hell of a thing to do," Dickey, who had voted days earlier, told the Houston Chronicle. "The shot wasn't tied to my vote in any way."
