Seventeen per cent of Harvard's eligible population has received the vaccine compared to only seven per cent of the national population.
Postel said those who chose not to receive the vaccine probably feared side effects or thought the vaccine pointless because there has been no recent swine flu recurrence.
Postel said a repeat program would not be a problem because there is "no real shortage" of swine flu vaccine.
However, Postel said there is a shortage of the bivalent vaccine now given only to high-risk persons. The bivalent vaccine is more effective and ideally should be given to everyone, he said.
This week's immunization went smoothly and no serious reactions to the vaccine have occurred or are likely to occur, Postel said.
