"I don't believe in pharmaceucticals. I believe in alternative methods like natural herbs or acupuncture."
Gennifer Dunlap, Mountain View

"Yes, I'm supposed to get one later this month. People who might need it probably won't receive it because other people who won't need it are getting it."
Morris Verna, Mountain View

"Yeah, it should be limited so people who need it, like people with a bad immune system can get it. But people like me shouldn't get it."
Suming Chen, Saratoga

"Yes, I'm concerned because I would like everyone to get it so no one can get sick."
Marion Buchman, Mountain View

"No, I'm not concerned. I'm not sure it's an urgent thing. People who need it should get it, but I don't have a grasp on how it is a real problem."
Peter Smillie, Mountain View
