Rosenthal said that at the beginning of the school year that he was hoping to receive shipments of H1N1 vaccine in mid-October, but that he now anticipates waiting until the beginning or middle of November.
“There are still issues out there about where it is. Where is the H1N1 vaccine?” Rosenthal said. “Fortunately, the illness is still mild to moderate.”
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.
Before the shortage, UHS officials were planning on ending their seasonal flu vaccination program in the next two weeks to focus on the H1N1 vaccine, which has also seen delays.
