A very long line stretched around the Ballard Pediatric facility this morning as families with children in the clinic waited for a limited supply of H1N1 vaccine.

How long of a line? It stretched from the clinic down 77th St…

…then around the corner down Mary Ave. nearly to 75th St.

The clinic opened at 9 a.m., and folks at the front of the line say they were waiting since 5:30 a.m., sitting in folding chairs and clutching cups of coffee in the chilly weather. Ballard Pediatrics’ drop-in clinic was for patients only and kids 6 months to 35 months. Meanwhile, King County is making the H1N1 vaccine available for priority cases at a handful of pharmacies, while supplies last, including Bob Johnson’s Pharmacy at 1407 NW 85th St. See the full list with the criteria here.
