...some years we’ve had to restrict flu vaccine to high-risk people because there’s been a limited supply in previous years,” said Rosenthal. “No limited supply this year...

The current system levels the playing field and opens the door to the entrepreneurs who want to personally contribute to the campus; students can opt in or opt out of the fee depending on their whims or financial status, but none will be turned away from a UC-funded event...
