More than 500 people showed up to get their flu vaccination at the free drive through clinic Friday.

There might have been a bit of a wait at times, but it wasn't enough to bother those who were waiting.

Clayton Applegate waited in line Friday to get his flu vaccine.

"No problem at all, it was a lot smoother than I thought," Applegate said.

Ester Tobias agreed with Applegate. She said waiting at the drive through flu clinic in Waco was worth it.

"I felt that we just needed it, you know, because of the swine flu that's going on," Tobias said.

Although they were seasonal flu vaccines distributed through shots or nasal mist, the clinic attracted people who wouldn't normally get the shot on a yearly basis.

Applegate was one of them.

"This is my first time but the way things are going around with the flu I don't want to catch it," He said.

Some said people they showed up because of all the flu coverage they've seen in the media this year.

"You're hearing so much about children getting sick [and] healthy people getting sick and ending up in the hospital. That concerns people," Public Information Officer with the Waco McLennan County Public Health District, Kelly Craine, said.

That's why the clinic is seeing larger crowds this year Craine said.

	Seasonal flu vaccines were distributed through shots or nasal mist.

It's a scenario that helps health care officials prepare for future distributions like H1N1.

"We expect and hope that there will be a high demand for that vaccine and again we're going to expect lines and we want to do it efficiently and conveniently for people," Craine said.
