Wow. As Twitchy reported, many are wearing masks as a precaution as the flu spreads. And many others are trying to get the flu vaccine now in order to protect themselves. However, that is becoming increasingly difficult to do.
Never seen a line for the health clinic at target before.
About 15 deep for the flu shot— Michele Tafoya (@Michele_Tafoya) January 11, 2013
In some places people are getting the #flu standing in line for up to 7 hrs to get a flu shot. I'll take my chances and say no shot for me.

Why she won’t tell where she is going to get a flu shot? To avoid lines like this:

Indeed. Stay healthy, everyone! Twitter can help; Twitter users are tweeting information to let others know where the flu shot is still available.
Still looking for a flu shot in #Rockville? Walgreen's in obscure Fortune Terrace off Seven Locks has them. Downtown Giant/CVS are out.
