   It was public clinic, at the local Community Centre, staffed by nurses   
   and EMS guys. The one the previous day was at the local Legion hall. We   
   showed up just after noon, not a great idea, but we were poked by one   
   o'clock (then 15 mins sitting around hoping not to keel over). When we   
   left, the line-up was considerably shorter. But, yeah, I heard about   
   5-hour line-ups in Kingston early in the week at a public clinic at a   
   mall (there's Ontario for you - strip malls, double-doubles and tilley   
   hats).   
      
   There's one only sheet of "paperwork" although, yes, it's foolscap, so   
   it's "long" for Ontario-ites, I guess, "if it's not Tim Horton's it's   
   not coffee," right? Anyway, you write your name and address and age, put   
   one checkmark, sign your name, takes 2 minutes for the mildly literate.   
   It's all in English too.   
      
   They give you a little "log" card that the nurse stamps with the date   
   and vaccine type and you take home -- you're supposed to get the swine   
   shot before the regular one. They also hand out information sheets, but   
   you don't have to take them.   
      
   They don't check post codes or ask for a health card or even try to   
   screen out people who aren't in the target groups and there hasn't been   
   any talk about "shortages."   
      
   Besides which, this is a small town and no one likes me.

   That you are full of shit. You never posted any citations to back up   
   your claim that vaccine was being diverted to the USA.
