The Manchester Center flu-shot clinic tomorrow (Nov. 4) is expected to be the biggest swine-flu shot clinic so far in Fresno County.

Health officials estimate thousands - that's by the phone calls they've been taking from people wanting to know where and when they can get the H1N1 vaccine - will show up for shots.

It's the first chance many in Fresno will have to line up for a shot. Vaccine supplies aren't exactly bulging. The Fresno County Department of Public Health got 11,500 doses last week for a county of almost 1 million.

Another clinic will be from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. Thursday (Nov. 5) at the retired teachers building on East Saginaw Way. To learn more about the H1N1 vaccine, check out the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's Web site.

It will be interesting to see the numbers after the 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. clinic closes at the Manchester Center. I keep hearing from people who say they aren't going to get an H1N1 shot. Many of them aren't in high-risk categories - pregnant women, children and young adults, caregivers of infants younger than 6 months or people with chronic health conditions. But some in those targeted groups say they won't get vaccinated.

But I hear that office workers in doctors' offices are getting screamed at daily by people who want to know why they can't get an H1N1 flu shot. Doctors are waiting like health departments for the vaccine to arrive.

So I'm curious: Who's going to get a flu shot (or wants to get one when more vaccine is available)? Who isn't getting a shot? Why?
