Farmers Branch -
People from across North Texas spent hours waiting in the wet weather. Many in the long line outside the Family Occupational Urgent Care clinic in Farmers Branch were accompanied by their children.
Janet Adams was in that line. She drove with 5 children from Wise County just to get Swine Flu shots.
"The way they've said people that are dying with underlying circumstances we're prime candidates for that," says Adams with worry.
Adams' daughter is asthmatic and her son a juvenile diabetic. If either gets the H1N1 virus, it could lead to a hospital visit.
"When I heard this was a private clinic and they were having shots for anyone that's why we're here."
Five thousand doses of the H1N1 vaccine were available at the clinic on 2300 Valley View Lane. Doctors here offered it to the general public.
Both Dallas and Tarrant county health departments have a limited supply of the vaccine. Priority has been given to high risk groups and county residents, leaving people like Andrea Schwartz looking everywhere for a dose.
"I've called all the county health departments and doctors officers. I've called Cook Children's Hospital and my pediatrician about 8 million times," says Schwartz.
Whether it was a long drive or a long wait, North Texans at this clinic say they now have peace of mind.
