Actually if you got the asthma newsletter that comes out every Friday, you are considered to be in the at risk group, and they are recommending you get a shot.

There should be plenty of the inhalers to go around, they didn't sell all the ones they had last year through the shortage then, so that's another option (though it does cost twice as much as the shot did). Too bad for that company, if they could crank up production they could make a zillion dollars this season, though the news today said they were already maxed out and couldn't make more in time.
