Top 10 Ways to get Vaccinated

Minister Ron Liepert has been a bit conflicted in his messaging on the H1N1 Vaccine. But don't think for a second he doesn't have a plan. I have uncovered a secret memo of who he would like to see rewarded:

Top Ten Ron Liepert positions on the H1N1 Vaccine

  1. Alberta will privatize vaccine delivery at liquor stores and 7-11’s
  2. If you kill a vampire with your bare hands, you will be eligible for a vaccine in the 2nd quarter of 2010
  3. For each paid copy of Windows 7, comes a voucher for the vaccine. Take that Mac.
  4. I’ll trade one free vaccine for any invite to Google Wave
  5. In the spirit of equality, Edmonton’s only real professional sports team, the Lacrosse Rush, get vaccinated.
  6. An innovative P3 emerges with Pizza 73. Pizza, Wings and Vaccine for $19.99
  7. My first 100 followers on Twitter are instantly vaccinated
  8. Seniors are NOT a priority for the vaccine. Except that guy from Shawshank Redemption. He’s cool.
  9. Ed Stelmach, anytime, anyplace. I owe you.
  10. The coolest moustache grown by Cabinet during Movember get’s one, for sure. Iris Evans included!

Of course this is a joke. But not unlike Minister Liepert's management of the H1N1 flu vaccination efforts in Alberta.

Ironically enough, unlike much of what the PCs have been doing (and most of what the opposition has been proposing), Numbers 1, 6, and 8 are all sound government policy.

Careful, Iris knows where you sleep at night. And, good point about the sports team.

Curious as to why they are free. For the seasonal flue vaccine you had to pay $25.00 if you were not a high risk group member.

Clarence, I'm not high risk (kids are though) and didn't have to pay the $25 for the seasonal... afaik they were free this year, but I could be wrong - can anyone clarify?

They seemed to be free this year. I should have made it clearer in the previous post that I was referring to previous years.
