THE first day of H1N1 vaccination at the 18 polyclinics islandwide went without a hitch.

Although some people turned up as early as 8.30am yesterday, there was no rush and queues thinned out quickly, with about 20 to 30 people waiting for their turns at any one time.

The early planning paid off, going by checks by The Straits Times at the Woodlands and Toa Payoh polyclinics yesterday.
