Influenza – H1N1 ("Swine Flu")
Health Services has received an initial, limited shipment of H1N1 influenza vaccine, and we are ready to commence vaccination administration to students.
It is anticipated that vaccine will continue to arrive in small increments, and eventually we expect to receive a total of 4,500 doses to administer to the Skidmore community. However, because initial vaccine supplies will be limited, the first few clinics must offer vaccine according to the priorities established by the Health Department and the CDC and will each be conducted as long as the supply available at that time lasts.
For more information about Skidmore's strategy for dealing with H1N1 please visit our Pandemic Plan website.
For further information on seasonal flu and the novel H1N1virus, you can visit the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) or the New York State Department of Health.
