University Health Services announced Monday that it is unlikely to receive all of the 15,000 doses of H1N1 vaccine it requested from the Massachusetts Department of Public Health, although UHS received a small shipment of the vaccine this week.
Until it receives sufficient quantities of the vaccine, UHS will continue vaccinating only patients defined as high risk by the Department of Health.
The news comes amid nationwide delays in production and distribution of the vaccine. As recently as early November, Health Services Director David S. Rosenthal ’59 had said that all students, faculty, and staff covered by UHS insurance would be able to be vaccinated by now.
Though the vaccine is still under development, the researchers say they are hopeful that the technique has broader clinical applications.
But the authors stressed that more research is necessary before the vaccine can be used in humans.
