New
York Swine Flu Vaccine Clinics Deserted
What
if they threw a mass vaccination . . . and nobody came?

Perhaps it was fear of crowds that kept the crowds away on Sunday from the clinics offering free swine flu vaccinations to schoolchildren. Or maybe the small numbers could be attributed to wariness about the new vaccine. Whatever the reason, the seven clinics across the city were, depending on how you looked at it, puzzlingly underused or puzzlingly over prepared. There were rows of police barricades set up to impose order on the people waiting to enter. Outside the school, at any given moment, two or three children — or sometimes one, or even none — were filling out registration forms.
