There will be a 150 percent increase in the amount of seasonal flu vaccine available this year, and more UHS employees are now licensed to give the vaccine, according to UHS director David S. Rosenthal ’59.
UHS will receive the increased supply of seasonal flu vaccine tomorrow, and the vaccine will be administered at 40 different sites—about twice as many as last year, Rosenthal said.
The H1N1 vaccine is still in development by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and should be released this fall.
Rosenthal said that optimistically, the vaccine should be ready by the middle of October.
The CDC recommends that certain groups receive the vaccine first, including pregnant women and people with chronic health conditions.
