Forty season-ticket holders met with Calgary Flames officials over the weekend to get a better understanding of the flu clinic fiasco that saw the team jump the queues for H1N1 shots.

On Saturday afternoon, officials met with fans to answer questions about the ordeal that allowed 150 people, including players and their families, to get inoculated Oct. 30, as a shortage of vaccine was looming.

Flames president and CEO Ken King said the team regularly meets with season-ticket holders but called one for Saturday because of the highly publicized issue.

"It was a topical issue -- we wanted to make sure everyone understood our situation," he said.

"This is a very complex and highly emotional issue and I thought it was important people understood fully.

"People have strong feelings about it."

The incident caused Alberta Health Services to fire two staff members involved in the decision to allow vaccinations at a private clinic held at Father David Bauer Arena while high-risk Albertans waited in long lines.

King said Saturday's meeting was positive.

He has said the hockey players are at an elevated infection risk due to their physical contact and that they decided to receive the inoculations separately to avoid causing disruptions at clinics.

Results of an investigation revealed a Calgary Flames medical representative approached Alberta Health Services on Oct. 27 through a staff member to see if an immunization clinic could be made available to the team.

The request was forwarded to a more senior Alberta Health Services staff member, who in turn took it to a supervisor and approved it.
