Although UHS has returned 10,000 of the 18,000 monovalent vaccines they received from the government, people who wish to be vaccinated may call the UHS immunization center and ask for an appointment.
Dr. Warren E.C. Wacker, director of UHS, said yesterday the amount of the health services fee involved is less than $1.00.
The University health insurance policy has covered maternity benefits for students since September. But Wacker said the UHS decided to include abortion coverage under the regular health care free because some students waive the Blue Cross-Blue Shield policy.
UHS will not perform abortions, but will refer women to outside clinics and provide up to $150 to pay for them. Most first trimester abortions cost slightly less than that amount.
Ann G. Bisbee, assistant to the director of UHS for abortion referral, said yesterday she is "very gratified" by the policy change.
