The flu shots will benefit "students and those who live or work in a communal setting," according to a statement issued by UHS, which has selected University dining halls as ideal locations for their clinics.
"I actually think it's really convenient. I wouldn't have made the trek to UHS," Elizabeth T. B. Murphy '03 said.
With free service in these new, convenient locations, UHS expects many students to visit the clinics. To accommodate the large numbers of students, two nurses will be stationed at each clinic, prepared to give anywhere from 60 to 70 shots per hour.
Nurses are not only responsible for administering the shots, however, but will also answer any questions about influenza or the effects of the shot as a part of a UHS effort to increase education about the virus.
UHS is expecting great results from the outreach program, which aims to create a much more comfortable winter season for the Harvard community. "If we immunize people, we're not going to see the flu," said Donna Campbell, infection control surveillance officer at UHS.
