Flu Clinic In Allentown Backs Up Traffic, Vaccinates Thousands

I think all those helpers were GREAT and very pleasent!! Thank You for doing this for our community! All of those volunteers that I met in line 10 this afternoon were So professional and made the shot more pleasurable after waiting 2 hours in line.! Thank You LVH!!

The people "think" they received good shots..........the spoiled Stroudsburg vaccine was used here..........

Thank you for injecting us with toxins. Love Eugenics.

You are a fool and deserve everything that comes from your poison stick.

Thank you

No flu shot. Was told by LVH, don't come before 8:30am and was told there would be plenty of shots for everyone. Waited as long as I could on Saturday, than had to get out of line to go to work. Now I'm told only available from 9am to noon on Sunday.
Hope LVH honors it commitment to the community and schedules more clinics.

LVHN did make a great commitment to the community. Our family is very thankful! It's not their fault you had to go to work.

They could have better police coverage for the traffic.From the red light after exiting 78 to the red light to turn into Dorney Park,we sat in traffic for over i hour,for that short distance.This was because people would drive by then try to cut in front of the people who were waiting.One woman yelled over to me to let her in ,she was sitting there for 20 minutes. I told her we were here for one hour!She moved her car so close to mine she almost hit us, then edged in that the driver behind us had to let her in.
The drivers cutting in line were causing a major tie-up and was frustrating to those who were waiting in line the way they all were suppose to.
This was the first time we went to anything like this and I really think I will take my chances with the flu next year, if I can't get the shot at my family doctor again, due to shortages.
We exited 78 at 8:34A.M. and received the flu shots at 10:32A.M.

You're all like cows to the slaughter house.

While the intention was good for the community .. There was EXTREMLY POOR PLANNING with the Traffic flow .. Traffic was backed up in 222 and 78 causing confusion and a SAFETY HAZARD to motorist's .Intersections were blocked by people sitting in line and obstructing cross traffic to proceed further fouling up the works.. They could have better utilized Dorney's parking lot in a much better fashion to get those who chose to get this questionable shot then to foul up traffic...

Glad at least some folks got seasonal flu shots..BUT..the flu shots are covered by insurance and even if NOT, can be had for $25..Not sure waiting for hours in a line is worth it since 99% of all flu cycling through the US isnt seasonal flu anyway.

My god some poor people really DO have nothing constructive to do with their lives.

thank god allentown is finally doing something about the blacks and latinos in allentown by giving them injections of aids, while telling them they are really getting flu shots...thank you, mayor!

If people would just wash their hands after taking a piss, they wouldn't have to worry about flu shots. Some discusting people in this world.

I did not get a flu shot at Dorney, but did experience the traffic delays. The idea of free vaccines is great, just poor planning on the flow of things. Hopefully they'll try to fix this next year. Now for all of you fools who have negative things to say about the vaccines or the people getting the vaccines, maybe you should educate yourselves. There are many people in the valley who benefitted from free vaccines and the healthcare workers who gave the vaccines were people who VOLUNTEERED their time to help the valley. We should be grateful that people care enough about others to be so kind as to give of themselves for others in the valley who need it!

ok mouth....flu shots are NOT always covered by insurance and if you would come to my office, they are $45...know what you are saying before you open your mouth and sound like an idiot.

Even if your insurance pays NOTHING it is better than catching flu or waiting in line for hours for nothing!

Rude AND ignorant-a double threat=you

Let's see how great you think it was for a flu shot, when you come down with something else because of it... how sad that these people will fall for anything they hear on TV

May the unhappiness or blessings you wish upon others return to you ten-fold.

I went for my flu shot for myself and my two kids and I think the volunteers did a bang up job! Yes, I waited over an hour and yes, there were some idiots that tried to cut in front of me but to even utilize more of the parking lot at Dorney, there absolutely no way to avoid the traffic. They would have to shut down LVIA and use the runways to avoid people cutting in line. I am married, white, unemployed and uninsured and am very greatful for these free flu shots. It amazes me that there are idiots that were not even involved in the event that have to put there negative two cents in. Good ridence and enjoy the flu! Thanks again to LVH and all the wonderful volunteers that braved the cold!

Good job by LVH! See-no need for a tax wasting regional health department!
