Principles of vaccination--pharmacists can vaccinate in MN!

Are you bored yet? 'Cause I am.
Here's what I have learned or relearned so far: live vaccines are CI'ed in immunocomprised patients (duh!), passive and active immunity, you can mix any vaccine except cholera and yellow fever, and some other stuff. Don't get me wrong, it is great that pharmacists are able to vaccinate and help to alleviate rural health care disparities, but I have learned this info a couple of times in the last few years.
Therefore I have been cruising around the internet and the blog community with little entertainment to be had. A key came off my computer but disaster was averted and it was repaired.
I am a little peeved about the current state of media coverage of the most recent hurricane, a disaster on so many levels. Was New Orleans the only part of the country that was affected by the hurricane? I don't think so. There are so many people who live along the Gulf Coast that were also affected, why are they receive half-assed coverage and empathy?
