The Health Department is holding weekend clinics for people in the priority groups—more details here—to get H1N1 vaccines. Here's a PDF of the locations and hours in each borough and there are two more weekends of clinics scheduled after the Thanksgiving Day weekend. Last weekend, 15,000 people opted to get the vaccines.

Pharmacy and grocery stores have been having massive lines lately for vaccines, this flu scare is really causing people to take serious action (i.e. wait in line for hours just to get a shot). Fatality rate isn't that high for those who get H1N1 (from what I've read), I think H1N1 is overly hyped IMO.
During the past few weeks, more than a 1,500,000 have been infected with swine flu in Ukraine. 90,000 have been hospitalized. 364 have died (although that official number seems ridiculously low). And many of the deaths, according to the World Health Organization, have been due to total destruction of the lungs (a not so nice new mutation, also just identified in Norway so it's spreading). I don't think it's been hyped enough!
Just went to the Queens flu clinic, and the lines were about 15 minutes max. Kudos to NYC DOH on a really well-run efficient operation.
