Fort Myers, Fla - The first of afternoon and evening swine flu vaccination clinics are now underway in Lee County.

On Monday, more than a thousand people got the H1N1 vaccine at Fort Myers High School, including WINK News Reporter Maggie Crane.

A line snakes its way around Fort Myers High School even before the vaccination clinic opens. Father of four Quentin Fairchild did his homework, then got in line.

"It seems like every reputable source said to get it done," Fairchild says. "I'm very suspicious by nature, so I really didn't want to, but I wouldn't live with myself if something happened to them and I didn't do what I could have."

Richard and Gloria Armstrong were among some of the first people in line. They're both high risk.

"We're both foster grandparents, we go into schools -- I deal with second graders -- and I don't want to get sick and give it to them, so I figure we get a shot and don't have to worry about it," Richard Armstrong says.

Right now the Lee County Health Department is recommending those most at risk get vaccinated first. That's pregnant women, kids 6 months to adults 24 years old, people who are often around kids, and people 25 to 64 who have a pre-existing medical condition.

"I too am a high-risk patient, because I'm a cancer survivor," Reporter Maggie Crane says. "I just celebrated 10 years in remission, but I do fit the criteria as high risk."

Maggie got vaccinated live on WINK News Now at 7 p.m. after our kid-tested focus group said how easy it is.

"It was pretty cool because it was pretty quick and I didn't feel much of anything," Kevin Mendez, 7, says.

"I just close my eyes and count to ten, and then it's over," Kem Louissaint, 10, says.

"When I first got there I was crying, but I thought if I want to be 7, I have to be a brave girl," Anenesha Elizer, 6, says.

But not for long. The whole process takes about 15 minutes, and it's completely free.

"It may not be fun, but it is good so you don't pass it on to people," Louissaint says.

From here on out the Lee County Health Department will hold nine vaccination clinics each week through November; two a night from 4-9 p.m.
