country as people lined up for the vaccine. now this scene was outside a health department in salt lake city, utah yesterday. demand was so great for swine flu shots, the people here started lining up overnight on friday. now eventually workers had to turn people away because the clinic ran out. in california in one county the lines were also long but as our affiliate tells us, the health clinic there are more vaccine than they needed. >> reporter: with her 2-year-old brother looking one, isabel was one of the first kids in her county to receive the h1n1 nasal vaccine. >> it didn't feel that bad. >> reporter: her mom who happens to be a registered nurse also got vaccinated saturday. she's seen what the h1n1 virus can do and says she doesn't want her kids to be at risk.
