Hundreds line up for H1N1 vaccine in Wellesley

WELLESLEY, Mass. - Big crowds in lined up in Wellesley Saturday morning for the H1N1 vaccine.

The town's health department held the clinic for healthy kids and teens from 2 to 19 years old who bundled up for the flu mist.

Wellesley got several hundred doses from the state but had to turn away dozens of families.

"Approximately two-thirds of the families who were in line, some since 7 o'clock in the morning, were taken care of. Those who got turned away, everybody understood, they were cooperative," says Shepard Cohen of the Wellesley Board of Health.

The town's board of health says more vaccines are on the way - and they'll try to get them out to residents as soon as they can.
