Purdue has 500 doses of H1N1 available for the campus community
"Despite the fact that the incidence of H1N1 has declined recently, both locally and nationally, the Centers for Disease Control states that the flu is expected to continue for months," said James Westman, director of the Purdue Student Health Center. This ebb between H1N1 waves presents an excellent opportunity for those who have not received the vaccine to be immunized. Getting the vaccine is the single best way to protect against the H1N1 virus."
The university has about 500 doses on hand and has administered the vaccine to more than 6,000 individuals, including 3,640 students. Vaccinations are available from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. weekdays in Room G51 of the Purdue Student Health Center.
There is no charge for students. Purdue identification cards will be needed, and employees also will need to show their Purdue-sponsored insurance card to cover the $12 administration fee.
