The state eased restrictions on flu vaccine distribution last week, but don’t expect to get University Health Services (UHS) to vaccinate you anytime soon.
Even though most college students are still not eligible, UHS has already started vaccinating under the state’s expanded guidelines.
“We had to stop immunizing some of our people between 65 and 75…now we [have] reopened that [service] and people are being immunized,” said UHS director David S. Rosenthal ’59.
Despite the shortage of flu vaccines, UHS has not seen an increase in the number of flu cases as of yet.
In October, UHS sold 2,000 units of the flu vaccine to the Boston Public Health Commission to help alleviate the city’s shortage.
