A mass immunization effort is underway in Blair County as the Altoona and Hollidaysburg Area School Districts are giving students the swine flu vaccine. Nurses and volunteers set up clinics at each of the schools and will move to different locations during the week. To protect the confidentiality of the students and create a stress free environment during the process, cameras were not allowed inside the schools. School officials say this is the biggest undertaking they've ever seen by their districts. The vaccines were provided by the department of health.
