A mass clinic to protect against a deadly virus.
Linn County held it's first H1N1 immunization clinic Friday at Hawkeye Downs in Cedar Rapids.
Hundreds of people waited in line early Friday morning, wrapping around the building wanting to get the nasal spray.
Despite that early morning line, the county says they only distributed 695 of the 1,500 doses they received from the government.
Parents didn't mind the wait kids didn't mind the mist over a shot.
"The doctor's office hasn't been able to get it and with all the schools, and me working at a hospital, I thought it was a great idea to do it and it's free, so," mom Julie Myers said.
Linn county health department says the remaining 805 doses will be given to local doctor's offices.
The county says they will host another clinic, but they don't know when or how many doses they'll get.
They hope to get shots soon.

Inmates assaulted officers at prison facility
November 20, 2009 17:36 EST
CORALVILLE, Iowa (AP) -- The Iowa Department of Corrections is investigating a pair of assaults on officers at its Oakdale Medical and Classification Center near Coralville.
The department reported Friday that the attacks took place on Nov. 15 and are also being investigated by the Coralville Police Department.
Officials say that in one assault, 22-year-old convicted kidnapper and robber Earl Griffin punched a guard in the shoulder and face, harming the guard's teeth and blacking both of his eyes. The attack occurred shortly after Griffin had received his medication in the facility's pill line.
The department says that a short time later, 18-year-old convicted murderer Damion Seats punched another officer in the face and neck.
Both Griffin and Seats have since been transferred to the Iowa State Penitentiary.
