Brentwood Village mall line-up Tuesday morning
The line-ups are once again stretching for blocks at the four clinics in Calgary, with many people lining up before daybreak for their H1N1 vaccination shot.
<b>Alberta Health is now reporting 12 deaths associated with the H1N1 and the number of hospitalized confirmed cases in the province as of Tuesday is 198.</b>
On Monday, thousands of people braved the chilly weather to wait in line for hours to get their shots. Clinics were forced to stay open until 11:00 p.m. to clear the backlog of people who showed up before 5:00 in the afternoon. People were turned away if they weren't in line by that time.
One man tells 660News, he has small children and a pregnant wife and can't wait around all day to get the vaccination.
There are four locations around Calgary:
- Brentwood Village mall, 302, 3630 Brentwood Rd. N.W.
- EMS Whitehorn station, 100, 3705 35th St. N.E.
- Richmond Road Diagnostic Treatment Centre, 1820 Richmond Rd. S.W.
- Avenida Village mall, 303, 12445 Lake Fraser Dr. S.E.
You'll be able to get vaccinated from 8:30 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday to Thursday, and from 8:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
