Got h1n1 Novartis shot at DC clinic this a.m.- I just had to ask

[Anonymous]

I went to a DC h1n1 clinic this a.m. at Hardy Middle School and got the pre-filled (Novartis) shot

Clinic opened at 8, I got there at 6:40 and was 10th or so in line. By the time doors opened there were more like 30 people ahead of me because all of those 10 were placeholder friends or family members of others. If anyone one like me is in search of the Novartis shot, I got it successfully this a.m. by being one of the first people there and by specifically requesting a pre-filled shot. Otherwise they would have given me the regular shot.

Hope this info helps someone. FWIW I am not a DC resident but work there. No one checks residency, as confirmed by other forum posters.

I also got the Novartis vaccine at Hardy this morning. I got mine at 11:00 am, so I think they had plenty.
