According to David S. Rosenthal ’59, director of Harvard University Health Services, UHS has seen between 40 and 60 cases a week of influenza-like illness.
Explaining possible reasons why swine flu cases could go unnoticed, Rosenthal said that many people are asymptomatic or may suffer less severe symptoms after gaining a level of passive immunity from being exposed to the disease in roommates or colleagues.
UHS has ordered between 12,000 and 13,000 doses of H1N1 vaccines. Rosenthal said the first shipment will be reserved for people designated high-risk by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention—including pregnant women, medical services personnel, and caretakers of young children.
