Harvard University Health Services has stopped giving seasonal flu vaccines at its Holyoke Center headquarters and most other sites around the University, due to an unexpected shortage.
Most of Harvard’s graduate schools—including the Law School, the Business School, the Graduate School of Education, and the School of Public Health—have stopped administering seasonal flu vaccines earlier than expected because a shipment of 1,600 flu vaccines expected two days...
“Students, faculty and staff who still wish to receive a seasonal flu vaccine should check with their local pharmacies, which have also been administering flu shots and may still have supplies,” Rosenthal wrote in an e-mailed statement to The Crimson.
UHS ordered about 19,000 doses this year, according to Rosenthal, and has administered between 15,000 and 16,000 doses of seasonal flu vaccine since early September—at least 25 percent more than the approximately 12,000 doses given out last year.
A clinic planned yesterday at the Law School was canceled at the last minute, according to Dorothy Wilder, a UHS nurse at Harvard Law School. Like most other graduate schools, the Law School will not receive any more seasonal flu vaccine.
