Cowell Student Health Center received its first shipment of H1N1 flu vaccine earlier this week. The amount of vaccine received was limited, but we anticipate receiving more soon. A vaccination clinic was held yesterday in Benson Center for students; approximately 300 H1N1 flu shots were administered. We will schedule another vaccination clinic when we receive our next shipment, and will notify students by email when this occurs.

In the meantime, Cowell Student Health Center has a limited amount of H1N1 Vaccine left from yesterday's clinic. It is available for students meeting the following criteria: 

• Students through 24 years of age.
• Students 25 years through 64 years of age with an underlying medical condition or weakened immune system which puts them at risk for complications from the flu
• Pregnant women
• People who live with or care for infants younger than 6 months of age
• Health care and emergency medical personnel

Due to limited clinic staffing, we will be giving the vaccine by appointment only to ensure the process is orderly. If you are interested in receiving the vaccine, call 408-554-4501 to schedule an appointment.

If you are not a student (and you meet one of the above criteria) and are interested in receiving the H1N1 vaccine please visit the Santa Clara Public Health Department website for information regarding clinics being held in the local area. www.sccgov.org/portal/site/phd/
