From the article:

Hundreds of people drove across the Canadian border to take advantage of a special flu vaccine clinic for U.S. citizens.

The Travel Medicine & Vaccination Center of Vancouver sent three nurses and 500 doses of flu vaccine to the Osoyoos Senior Center, a five-mile drive from Oroville, Wash., for the two-day clinic that began Friday.

A long line of mostly elderly shot seekers greeted workers Friday morning. Nurse manager Diane Loewen said 250 shots were quickly administered, only a handful to Canadians.
