I see many others are strongly opposed to flu tracking.  While I am not necessarily against the idea I think more information needs to be provided on why cases of the flu need to be reported to the state and what the state plans to do with that information.  Medical professionals in the state have claimed that the flu shot has been near useless in the past few years.  Would data on whether an individual received a flu shot or not be collected as well?  Although I am aware that the flu can be extremely dangerous to some, it seems odd that something as seemingly miniscule as the common flu would be slipped into this list of reported diseases with no explanation provided.
