Campus to offer H1N1 flu vaccinations

UCI has received a limited amount of H1N1 flu vaccine, which will be made available to students, faculty and staff who fall under the following Centers for Disease Control-selected priority groups: Persons ages 18-24; pregnant women; people who live with or care for children 6 months old or younger; healthcare and emergency medical personnel; and persons ages 25-64 with existing medical conditions that put them at higher risk of flu-related complications. Walk-in vaccination clinics are scheduled from noon to 4 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 19, at the Anteater Recreation Center and Monday, Nov. 23, at the Student Center Pacific Ballroom. A valid UCI ID is required. Campus officials ask that people who are not in a priority group contact their health care provider or Orange County Health Care Agency for further vaccination information.
