H1N1 vaccine is here, if not on campus yet
On Tuesday I sent out an alert to campus to let students know that Lynn’s shipment of the H1N1 vaccine is now being forecast to arrive in mid-November (this according to the county’s health officials). This is more than a month later than expected. The news was not much of a surprise given the seemingly nonstop media coverage on the national shortage in recent days.
That said, apparently not all is lost if you’re intent on being among the first to get the vaccine. One of our own students (thanks Adriana!) emailed to say that she and her daughter both received the vaccine earlier this week at a local hospital. If you’re in a hurry to get this, try going through the county. You can access more information at:

In the meantime, keep washing those hands!
