In the Cincinnati, Ohio, area, health officials say they're overwhelmed by the response of their vaccine clinic.

Butler County fair officials say they've closed the parking lots and aren't taking anyone who isn't already in line.

You can see why just look at this line that goes on for at least a quarter mile if not more. Inside entire families patiently wait their turn to get their H1N1 shot or nasal spray.

The Butler County Health Department says it has more than 12,000 swine flu vaccines to administer from the half dozen nurses and technicians but it just can't handle all the people who showed up for the clinic. That's why they plan to hold a second clinic tomorrow.
