As usual, each of the newscasts assigned a reporter to file yet another influenza story. ABC went for human interest, sending Barbara Pinto to hang out in a college gym in Chicago where families waited to be vaccinated against H1N1: "The crowd of the anxious and the patient began lining up at 9am." The shots arrived at 3pm; 1,600 doses were dispensed in 30 minutes. "There were so many people, not enough vaccine. Hundreds were turned away." CBS' Jeff Glor explained the vaccine distribution system from the warehouses of the McKesson medical supply company to the clinics and public schools of a New Jersey county. On NBC, Robert Bazell noted that the Centers for Disease Control "again apologized that the government had promised far more than has been delivered so far."
