Assistant Public Health Coordinator Daniel Regenye said Monday’s clinic here was scheduled from 3 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. However, people began arriving as early as 9 a.m. Ocean County health officials had 1,500 doses. County health officials will meet today to discuss how to handle the crowd expected at another clinic that’s scheduled for Thursday in Stafford Township. The county said additional shipments of swine flu vaccine are expected.AP

before taking the vaccine please understand all ingredients that are entering YOUR body. probably safer to get sick the natural way than to put in a chemical mishmash (including mercury)

I will not be volunteering to get a shot, if you want mine , you can have it! I think there are more natural and safer ways to prevent the flu and stay healthy,
