H1N1 Campus Flu Vaccine Clinic Update 10-30-09
As you may have heard or seen in the media, shipment of H1N1 vaccine has been delayed due to slower than expected production. It now appears likely that sufficient quantities of vaccine will not be available before late November to early December. We are working with local health authorities and the Seattle campus to coordinate a clinic at the earliest possible date; at this time, we are suspending plans for the clinic on November 17th and 18th.
Once we have confirmation of vaccine availability, and can confirm dates for the clinic, we will provide information about days/times/location, and other information regarding our plan for immunizing the campus community.
We will continue to provide information about the virus as it is available to us, posting it on the UW Tacoma Issues website: http://www.tacoma.washington.edu/issues/h1n1/.
Additional information may be found on the University's flu website: www.uw.edu/flu
and on the Student Health & Wellness website: http://www.tacoma.washington.edu/studentaffairs/SHW/hwep_about.cfm.
The best guidance for staying healthy continues to be the same we've provided since the virus first appeared: wash your hands frequently or use hand sanitizer, cover coughs and sneezes, and please stay home if you become ill. Please report all cases of H1N1 flu to either Student Health & Wellness (students) or Human Resources (faculty, staff), and watch for further updates.
