People lined up early in Gwinnett County to receive a new shipment of H1N1 vaccines.

The vaccines were given out for free to those who are at high risk for the virus. This includes pregnant women, health care and emergency medical personnel, people who live with or care for infants younger than 6 months, anyone from 6 months to 24 years of age, and anyone from 25 to 64 years who have medical conditions that put them at higher risk for influenza-related complications.

Some people lined up as early as 6 a.m. to be the first to recieve the vaccines.

Residents did not have to live in Gwinnett to receive the vaccines at the Gwinnett County Public Health Services office in Lawrenceville.

Vaccines were also given out in Rockdale and Clayton counties.
