H1N1 Wait times in Ontario

The H1N1 vaccine is now open, in Ontario, to the general public; some clinics report no wait times, other clinics are reporting over 2 hour wait times. This comes after a suspended roll-out of the vaccine due to a shortage. The H1N1 vaccine is in overwhelming demand.
My question is why a demand? This vaccine has not been properly tested, it is new, and therefore potential side effects may still be unknown. There are a reported 36 cases of adverse side effects, including death as a result from the vaccine. Are people taking this into consideration as they line up in clinics hours before it even opens?
Furthermore, before you get the shot, you must sign a waiver that if you do get sick or have an adverse reaction to the shot, you cannot sue. How legitimate is the shot? Why have the vaccine producers been given blanket immunity shielding them from any adverse reaction lawsuits? David Butler-Jones, Canada's Chief Health Officer is quoted saying “The benefit of immunization, the prevention of serious illness and death far outweigh any theoretical risk associated with being immunized.” I disagree.
The H1N1 vaccine is not the only option. Be careful, wash your hands frequently, and cover your mouth when you cough, carry hand-sanitizer with you, stay home if you feel ill, drink plenty of fluids and get some rest. There is no need to inject unnatural substances into your body, or create an extra burden (by increasing the vaccine demand) on the already over-stressed health system. More people have died from the seasonal flu than H1N1, but the media is creating a monster of this year's flu season that has much of the general population running to the nearest clinic demanding protection against the flu.
I am still waiting for the stampede to ensue. Or maybe there are a great number of people that will not get the vaccine because they too have questions. Either way, I’m not getting the shot.
