No tears

Lauren Williams, all of seven months old, put on a brave face for her mother, Joanna, as public health nurse Karen Armstrong gave her an H1N1 vaccination at the Real Hope Christian Assembly in Deep River last week. The one-day clinic on Thursday was put on by the Renfrew County and District Health Unit. Over the course of five hours, 237 people in priority groups were vaccinated, while another 63 people over the age of 65 received seasonal flu shots.
