H1N1 Vaccine & Flu-like illness Update- November 20, 2009
Flu-like illness has been present on the Northeastern campus this fall and has been generally mild. We credit the excellent efforts of the NU community at cough etiquette 
and hand washing. Although we certainly hope our flu season resolves quickly, we will assume it will persist through the spring. Therefore it is important for us all to continue our commitment to personal hygiene. Information has been distributed on campus and remains available on the UHCS website regarding prevention, caring for yourself, and vaccination clinics.
UHCS received a small supply of H1N1 vaccine at the end of October but we did not receive enough to provide to the entire NU community. CDC and Massachusetts Department of Public Health guidelines require providers to prioritize H1N1 vaccine according to high risk groups. UHCS reached out to Northeastern students who have high risk medical issues as a priority and provided the vaccine to these students first. Currently we have no H1N1 vaccine at UHCS available for anyone. We anticipate obtaining more H1N1 vaccine mid-December. UHCS suggests that students who are traveling for Thanksgiving break also check the availability of the H1N1 vaccine at their destination, their home health departments, primary care doctors, and community health centers.
Here is a list of ways to stay informed about the availability of the H1N1 flu vaccine in our community:
1. Check the UHCS website regularly for updates.
2. Visit http://flu.masspro.org limited numbers of public clinics are now posted which you can search by zip code. More clinics will be added to this database as they are scheduled.
3. Contact your local public health department, local community health center or call 211 to see if they know when clinics will begin in your area.
4. Keep up to date on the vaccine situation in the state by regularly visiting the Massachusetts Department of Public Health blog.
