(AP) - Alexandra Patz watch as Jessina Carroll, a nurse at the Ryan Chelsea-Clinton Community Health Center, administer a swine flu vaccine nasal mist to her son Douglas, 4, in New York, Thursday Nov. 5, 2009. The private nonprofit health center has seen a steady flow of individuals asking for the vaccine. 'There was no wait,' said Patz, who also got the vaccine along with her son. 'It was painless and I am glad I did it.' Some of New York's biggest companies, including Wall Street giants Goldman Sachs and Citigroup, received doses of swine flu vaccine for at-risk employees, drawing criticism that the hard-to-find vaccine is going first to the privileged.
