7 Hour Wait

For people lined up for the flu shot at the first clinic in Bridgewater, the average wait was six to seven hours. People started lining up at seven yesterday morning. South Shore Health volunteers ended up staying at the Michelin Athletic Club until around ten last night to vaccinate those who had been waiting since two in the afternoon. That was when they were starting to turn people away who wanted to line up. There were between eight and nine hundred people who were able to get the H-1-N-1 shot yesterday. The next clinic in Bridgewater will also be at Michelin. That's on The 9th of November. This coming Monday, it will be at the Community Center in Lunenburg.
