FLU SHOT UPDATE - November 18th

Seasonal Vaccine:  We have exhausted our first shipment of flu vaccine.  We have not received notice as to when the balance of our vaccine will be shipped.  We will let the campus community know through the digests as soon as it becomes available.  If you are able to get your vaccine on your visits home, we strongly encourage you to do so.

H1N1 Vaccine:  We are participating with a county-wide program who will notify us when and how the national distribution of H1N1 vaccine will take place.  We will notify the campus community when we become aware of that plan.  We are strongly encouraging students to receive the H1N1 vaccine at home over Thanksgiving Break if it becomes available in your community.  Please visit  "current health issues" on our website menu for further information.
