Despite the H1N1 vaccine shortage, people have been waiting for hours in long lines to try to tap the existing supply.
Here, from Flickr, are three photos — freely usable on your site — that tell the story of a vaccine line in Missoula, MT. (For tips on finding free creative-commons H1N1 photos for your website, check out this post.)
Lance Fisher lives in Missoula, where he’s a coder, husband, and father to son Colin. On Friday, his family waited for four hours in line for a FluMist vaccine for Colin — so long that at one point Lance had to go track down some takeout food.
First they waited in the parking garage of the clinic (only half the line visible):

Then they waited inside the clinic:

Finally, Colin got the vaccine:

Similar lines have been snaking across the country. To see a queue at a Kaiser hospital in Hayward, CA, look here and here. (These photos also have a creative-commons license.) Expect more vaccine-line shots to pop up on Flickr over the next few days.
