At this point we should be embarrassed. This state should be embarrassed. The New York State Legislature should be embarrassed.

The Committee in Albany holding up this bill should be embarrassed.

Why is New York one of the last 2 states in the union that does not allow Pharmacists to immunize?

Why is New York State so far behind in helping to keep their patients healthy, alive and out of the hospital?

Why can 48 other states successfully help their constituents and New York State CAN NOT????

Will the 60,000 people who die each year from the flu all come from New York State?

This is the time to push this bill thru, there is NO reason why we can not help our patients and our State.

Make your phone calls now to your legislators. Make them today and tomorrow, make them understand what is happening and how we can help.
