Question: As influenza cases rise in New York City, the Health Department is asking state lawmakers to pass a bill allowing pharmacists to give flu and pneumonia shots. Would you get a flu shot from a pharmacist? Why or why not?

 | | "Yes, I'd go to a pharmacist. It's convenient. You don't have to wait in line like in the hospital. So more people will get the flu shot."
- Mark Capodilupo, Canarsie |
|
 | | "No, I wouldn't go to a pharmacist because I'd rather get it from a doctor. A doctor is a professional in medicine, and a pharmacist is just an assistant to the doctor."
- Antonio Rodriguez, Canarsie |

 | | "Sure, I'd go to a pharmacy for a flu shot. The flu shot you'd get at a pharmacy is the same as a hospital or clinic."
