According to David S. Rosenthal ’59, director of Harvard University Health Services, UHS has seen between 40 and 60 cases a week of influenza-like illness.
According to a UHS statement, UHS has slightly more than 2,000 seasonal flu vaccines left in stock when combined with vaccines on hand and those obtained from other providers.
Last week, when a distributor failed to deliver 1,600 additional doses on time, UHS was forced to cancel several of its final clinics at the graduate schools.
UHS has ordered between 12,000 and 13,000 doses of H1N1 vaccines. Rosenthal said the first shipment will be reserved for people designated high-risk by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention—including pregnant women, medical services personnel, and caretakers of young children.
UHS has a list of about 300 to 400 people at the University who qualify as high-risk and who will receive the vaccine when it first arrives.
