This is video of the scene this morning at Emerald Ridge High School and Glacier View Junior High in Puyallup. This is at most 1/3 of the people waiting for free H1N1 vaccines provided by Tacoma / Pierce County Health Department, and most of these will not receive the vaccine based on the number of doses available compared to the number of children who showed up. The vaccine is being made available for children from 6 months to 24 years old and will be in the nasal spray form. The clinic started at 9:00am, and I took this video around 9:30 when I arrived. So it looks like I would have needed to show up before 8:00 to have a shot at getting my children vaccinated.

Well said Shelly. It was never determined if the 500 who got GBS and the 25 who died was attributed to the vaccine in 1976. Forty million Americans were vaccinated. Due to the lawsuits you will not see many american firm making vaccines today.

Who do you think you are ushallbeended? It is every parents choice to decide what they think is best for there child. You are nothing and have no say in whatever other people decide to do and should find something else to do?
