DALLAS — Mass flu shot clinics conjure up images of campouts, long lines and frustrated people turned away. But in Dallas County on Wednesday, the roll-out seemed to be going without a hitch.

At midday, there were no lines to report. Nearly 1,500 people received vaccinations in the first three hours of the free clinic at the Dallas County Health Department on Stemmons Freeway. Forty nurses were working to administer the vaccinations.

However, the day started with hundreds of people lining up early Wednesday morning to receive the vaccine, and health officials planned to dispense the doses an hour earlier than scheduled.

Daniel Zuniga, 8, of Dallas, his mom, two aunts and eight cousins had arrived at 3 a.m. and were sitting in lawn chairs and bundled in blankets.
