University Health Services continues to see a low level of influenza activity on campus, potentially in thanks to the success of their H1N1 vaccination clinic Friday.
According to UHS, more than 4,500 students are now vaccinated against H1N1, and over 1,500 of those vaccinations were performed at the SERF Friday.
""We were very pleased with the turnout,"" Sarah Van Orman, executive director of UHS, said in a statement. ""We had a steady stream of students coming in all day, and we were vaccinating two or three hundred people every hour.""
There are still H1N1 vaccines available at the UHS location on East Campus Mall Monday-Friday from 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m for those with a valid student ID. No appointment is necessary and there is no charge to be vaccinated.
Van Orman said students who get vaccinated would have a lower chance of getting flu during exam week.
""Students should try to get vaccinated as soon as possible,"" Van Orman said. ""It will help protect the whole campus from experiencing another outbreak when the spring semester starts.""
