H1N1 cases on campus stay constant

University Health Services released statistics Tuesday revealing cases of flu-like symptoms have remained constant from last week.

According to a UHS release, over the week of Oct. 25-31, UHS evaluated 72 UW-Madison students with flu-like symptoms, which comprised 5.2 percent of all visits to the primary care clinic at UHS.

The release said these numbers remain fairly consistent compared to the previous week, when UHS saw 74 cases of flu-like symptoms comprising 6.5 percent of the primary care patients.

UW-Madison students are no longer eligible to receive the H1N1 vaccine because of a statewide shortage.

The vaccine is now only available to a limited number of priority group citizens, including those with medical conditions and those who are pregnant.

UW-Madison students, however, can still receive the seasonal flu vaccine.
