Anytime we are given a drug of any kind, the medical provider has a duty to tell you all the side effects. What the drug can or can not do to the person. Most states have a surplus of funds and spends very little on mental illness. What is the connection?

Whenever a person has anxiety or is severely depression they can not make an informed decision. The fact that it is not important to the state but it is important to have every person get this shot should be a wake up call for all of us.
