Swine flu clinics attract thousands at Oklahoma City schools
Thousands of people waited for hours outside two Oklahoma City high schools while the county health department gave out swine flu vaccinations on Saturday.
The clinics were held at U.S. Grant High School and Southeast High School. About 2,000 doses of vaccine were available at each location for children and pregnant women, said H.R. Holman, spokesman for the Oklahoma City-County Health Department. Swine flu, also known as H1N1, has killed 13 Oklahomans. Hundreds of others have been hospitalized. President Barack Obama signed a declaration Friday calling the virus a national emergency. Health authorities say more than 1,000 people, including nearly 100 children, have died from the disease. About 11 million doses of the vaccine have been sent to health departments, doctor’s offices and other providers, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said.
