A steady stream of people showed up at the DuPage County Health Department to be inoculated against the H1N1 virus.
Children squirmed in the arms of their parents Thursday as they arrived at the appointed hour to be inoculated. Nearly all the children were being treated by nasal spray, yet some had to be coaxed with special treats to undergo the procedure. Some reacted to the spray with screams.
DuPage County was one of several jurisdictions around Illinois where the vaccine is becoming available.
The Chicago Department of Health has announced that beginning Saturday, free H1N1 inoculations for city residents will be available at six city college locations.
The first shots are for people in high-risk groups, including children and young adults, pregnant women and adults with underlying health conditions.
The vaccinations will be available to Rockford School District students in the next few weeks.
