Posting as "Civil Rights": Call from CDC

Heads (ears) UP.

Got a call this afternoon from the Center for Disease Control (CDC). It was a telephone survey inquiring as to the number of children in the household that had vacinations. They inquired of two catagories: children 0-4 and those under 18. I did not answer the call as it was an area code 312 number. But, I did call back and was asked the survey. The inquisitor was polite, identified himself and thanked me for the return call.

Interesting! Scam? Anybody else getting these calls?

This is actually legitimate.

It's not really a civil-rights issue, so I'm going to go ahead and close this.
