Arrived at 8:30. Doors opened at 9:00. Estimated about 350-400 kids in front of us. Line moved pretty steadily. Entered the 'entrance' at 10:15 to start filling out forms (in the rain). About another 15 minutes later into the vaccine room. 10 stations, predominantly flumist. Children under 2 and those with other issues could get a limited supply of the injections (I don't know which type--my infant got a .25 dose of something--have a receipt somewhere).
Doors open until about 1:00 PM or they run out. Was about 150 in line after we left at 10:40. No ID check or anything and officials say 'all are welcome'. Prince Frederick/Calvert County fairgrounds is on Route 231 about 2 miles East of Pennsylvania Avenue / Route 4, about 45 minutes from Andrews AFB. Many folks came from Charles/St. Marys as well as Calvert counties.
