Apparently that’s what some congressional staffers think, and U.S. Rep. Robin Hayes isn’t happy about it:

House Homeland Security Committee staffers are on a peculiar mission to study “public health issues at events involving mass gatherings,” which has personally insulted Rep. Robin Hayes of Concord, North Carolina.

The event: NASCAR.

The rub: the requirement that the Democrat and Republican staffers attending first be immunized against Hepatitis A, Hepatitis B, tetanus, diphtheria, and influenza.

Being an Army brat, I’ve had about every immunization you can think of, including the plague series, but I never though I’d need shots to go to Lowe’s Motor Speedway. I wonder if it includes a stop at the Bass Pro Shop at Concord Mills.
