SAN DIEGO -- Last Saturday, people lined up in Mission Valley to get a flu shot. The lines have become the norm at places where the vaccine is being offered.

"We do have the vaccine at this moment," said Dr. Enrique Chacon, from Grupo Pediatrico de Tijuana.

In fact, the clinic has a refrigerator full of the vaccine ready for anyone who comes into the clinic in Tijuana, Mexico.

While senior citizens and the chronically ill queued for hours Monday hoping to get one of the scarce vaccinations available, students at Louisiana State University could walk into their student health clinic and get one with few questions asked. Such is the result of unset priorities.
