Prisoners in the Arkansas Department of Correction system aren`t getting preference for influenza vaccinations.
Department spokeswoman Dina Tyler says prisoners at high risk of complications from the flu, such as those 65 or older or those with medical conditions, normally get flu shots. But the
department has no vaccine, so inmates are in the same boat as many other folks and are unable to get their shots.
