Thousands of Romanians lined up for the swine flu vaccine after the death of a popular TV actor.

The director of a Bucharest hospital said it took the death of a TV star to make Romanians identify with the victim and realize they're at risk. Romania reports over 6,000 confirmed cases and 82 deaths from swine flu.

More than 20 hospitals are vaccinating people as quickly as possible.
