City relies on honour system

The city is echoing the province, asking those in lower-risk groups to stay away from public H1N1 vaccination clinics for now.
This, because of a lower vaccine supply than planned.
The city's clinics will have signs posted up saying they're only vaccinating those in at-risk groups and staff will be screening those in line, asking questions to determine where they fall.
But they won't asking for proof of a pre-existing health condition or if someone says they have a baby that's only a few months old. They will be relying on the honour system.Listen to Newstalk 1010's Katie Franzios' report.
Toronto Public Health says you shouldn't worry if you're in a lower-risk category, most healthy people who get H1N1 recover in a few days without even getting medical treatment.
