Oklahoma public says waiting is worth a swine flu shot

"We encourage everyone that is eligible to receive the vaccine to do so and also the seasonal vaccine. If it’s available to you, get it,” said Holman, spokesman for the Oklahoma City-County Health Department.

For some, the wait was worth it.

"I believe waiting in line for three hours was way worth it. Now I’m calm about not getting the H1N1 virus. Less worrying,” Rachael Geraldon said. Along with her getting vaccinated were her two sons, ages 17 months and 12, and her boyfriend. "In my opinion there are way more good things than bad when dealing with this vaccination.”

Devan Pederson said getting the vaccination was important to put aside the three hours he waited.

"Comparing the time to wait in line against actually getting sick seems crazy because it’s really not that much out of your day. Get in and get it done.”
