You don't have to "qualify" for the seasonal vaccine. You can qualify to have it for free if you're a high risk individual, otherwise you pay for it. It's available to every citizen as long as you're willing to pay for it. If you want it, you can have it.
To Devil's... I don't mean to be an ass, I believe in flu shots and have got the seasonal shot every year since I was a kid. I was just hyping up the seasonal flu shot - it's extremely important that people get it. Just as important as getting the H1N1 shot - for every reason people are getting the H1N1, they should be getting the seasonal. Whether it's to avoid missing work, avoid giving the virus to at risk people, or just to not feel crappy for a week.
And I didn't say the cost of the program wasn't worth it... I just think Canadian support for the program may not have been what it was had it been well know that it would cost a half billion dollars.
