Long Lines Last Night for H1N1 Vaccine in Summit
The elderly, pregnant women and infants were targeted for the vaccine.
Several hundred people lined up last night outside Summit High School for H1N1 vaccines that were distributed to the elderly, pregnant women and children ages 6 to 24 months.
Parking anywhere near Summit High School was severely limited between 5 and 8 pm when the vaccine was administered. Summit Police was on hand to direct pedestrians trying to navigate the immediate area.
The line, which wrapped from the gym entrance around to the front of the school on Kent Place Blvd., was estimated to be an hour long. Most in line had young children.
