I think this is actually a good idea, it enables people with lower incomes who wouldn't normally have access to this type of healthcare to get their seasonal flu shots. You should probably get over your queasiness about it. It's all done very sanitarily and safely and is done away from the food your shopping for.

I am sure they use clean needles and dispose of them properly in a Sharps container. I am also quite sure they are not doing this around your food that your buying, and doing it in a little seperate area. The reason why they do that there is because it is a public place that many can have access to get their flu shots in this manner. It is not the grocery clerks giving the shots, It is medical professionls.
