TERRE HAUTE, Ind. (WTHI) - People have been so hostile in the community over the H1N1 vaccine that the Vigo County Health Clinic had to connect its panic button.

Officials within the Vigo County Annex are bumping up security. They have been having problems with people coming in looking to get the H1N1 vaccine when it is not available.

Officials warn that hostile behavior will not make the vaccine become available any sooner.

"We know this is a very frustrating and challenging time. Please be patient with us. We are doing the best with the limited amount of doses that we have and trying to roll this out to those target groups and also at a later date to the general public," Megan Bland with the Vigo County Health Department said.
