SPOKANE VALLEY -- Hundreds of people stood in line Saturday to get the H1N1 Swine Flu vaccine at the YMCA in Spokane Valley.

Organizers of the event had about 1,500 does of the nasal spray vaccine on hand.  Since no needles were present, kids were fairly calm which made mom's and dad's happy.

Lines were fast and nurses were plenty.  But one thing people were not too pleased about was having to make a second trip back to the clinics.  If you child receives a nasal spray shot and they're under the age of nine, they have to get a second dose within 28 days.

The total number of people who went to Saturday's clinic and the amount of vaccines administered won't be out until later tonight.

Some of the volunteers working at the clinic included nursing students from Washington State University.

This is beyond upsetting. I love the coverage! I love how it shows a mom explaining how she "came around" to the idea of vaccinating her small children.... This is beyond scary! People wake up! Big pharma owns you!
