Tender Greens
Tender Greens is like your favorite rock band where you want to keep it a secret but also hope for tremendous success. And successful it is. Healthy and tasty salads and veggies, lean cuts of steak, chicken and tuna all served up in a 'fast food' style and price tag - but in a much better environment and quality. The flatiron angus steak with Yukon Gold potatoes top out my list. I also love to get the line caught ahi tuna with a baby spinach and goat cheese salad - quite tasty when I'm shooting for lighter fare. Makes for a nice and not-too-expensive dinner, and an excellent lunch as well.

I received two calls from Care Enhance Program assigned by Medi-Cal due to my chronic illness to remind me that I should have H1N1 flu shot.
Yesterday I found online the location of H1N1 flu shot in Monrovia. I went there but the police officer told me that the line was closed because there was not enough vaccines left. He also said that some people had been waiting since 4am.
I am physically disabled and unable to stand in the line for prolonged hours. I had called my primary doctor and went to Rancho Los Amigo Medical Center for the swine flu shot information but I was responded that no vaccines available. Under this situation, how can I get the vaccine? I have regular Medi-Cal.
Thank you for your early reply.
