Welcome to the Student Health Service
SEASONAL INFLUENZA VACCINE UPDATE 11/19/09:
We now have both types of seasonal influenza vaccine- injectable and FluMist. Our supply of injectable is limited, so we will still prioritize shots to those who must get the injectable vaccine, and encourage others who qualify to get the FluMist. Come to our walk-in clinic through Friday 11/20.
H1N1 UPDATE 11/19/09: These are the priority groups we can currently vaccinate:
Health science students with patient contact
Pregnant students
Students who care for or are parents of infants under age 6 months
Students through age 64 who are immunocompromised, or have chronic conditions like asthma, diabetes, heart/lung or kidney conditions, neurologic or neuromuscular disorders
Student volunteers who have patient contact in a health care setting
Vaccine is free, and no appointment is needed. We have both injectable and nasal spray H1N1 vaccine in stock. If you qualify, we will encourage you to receive the nasal spray. We cannot vaccinate the larger group of healthy students yet- hopefully in the coming weeks. Call our Nurseline at 335-9704 if you have questions. Keep watching here for updates!
