Cold wet weather didn't keep hundreds of parents with babies in strollers from lining up outside the Barrack Green Armouries this morning for the H1N1 flu clinic. But after a long wait, some mothers stormed out of the parking lot with crying children before getting the vaccination. Sherry Graves was lucky enough to get her nine year old son Brady and two year old son Garett into the clinic after only one hour.

Debrah Godlewski is the Director of Public Health for the Southern Part of the province. She says they kept long lines of people outside because they didn't want to crowd the inside of the armouries where shots were being delivered. Godlewski says the next vaccination clinics won't take place until late next week depending on when new shipments of the vaccine arrive.
