Hundreds of adults and children turned out Sunday at the Martha's Vineyard Hospital to get free vaccinations against the flu. With help from dozens of volunteers, a long line of adults and children — at times snaking through several hallways — moved swiftly and efficiently through the process. In response to the recent statewide outbreak that caused a run on vaccine here and elsewhere, the clinic administered more than 800 doses of vaccine in one morning.
