Turnout is way up at swine flu vaccine clinics that New York City is holding at public schools around the city.
A total of 7,784 people were vaccinated at seven schools on Saturday. That's compared to only 1,701 on Nov. 7, the first day of the weekend vaccination clinics.
City health officials set up the weekend clinics to vaccinate middle school and high school students. After turnout was light on the first weekend they expanded the pool to include pregnant women, people who care for infants and adults with underlying medical conditions.
The swine flu vaccine is being offered to elementary schoolchildren at school.
The weekend clinics continue until Dec. 13.
