H1N1 Vaccine for Everyone

I am commenting on Hector's editorial on the prisoners of the Texas prisons getting the vaccination for the H1N1 virus. I agree with Hector on everyone, even prisoners, should get the vaccination for the H1N1 virus. Everyone is capable of getting the virus, even though they are in prisons, the guards are able to bring it to them from the outside. When the virus is brought in from the outside, you are risking the chance of infecting the whole prison and everyone in it. Just because they are convicts too, it doesn't mean that they are no longer people. They are people just like you and me. The state should vaccinate the prisons across Texas and prevent what could be over 200,000 deaths. The prisoners are confined to small areas and are able to infect more people since they are so close. I also agree with Hector about vaccinating the prisoners who are about to get out and those who are close to getting out from their prison sentences. They are getting out and ready to live their lives, without trying to catch the virus. They are newly exposed to the virus since they have been living in a tiny cell for years. It is the right thing to do, vaccinating the prisoners, they are people too and deserve to be given the shot just like everyone else in the free world. With the vaccination going to everyone in the state, it will make it less likely for others to get it.
