After administering more than 15,000 vaccines over the past two months, HUHS has ended its seasonal flu vaccine clinics in the Holyoke Center. We anticipated a busy flu season and, after ordering considerably more vaccine than we have in the past, we were able to provide vaccinations to the Harvard community much earlier than we have in previous years.
Students, faculty and staff who still wish to receive a seasonal flu vaccine should check with their local pharmacies, which have also been administering flu shots and may still have supplies.
While we will be suspending seasonal flu vaccines a little earlier than we had originally planned, the work that went into making this season's flu clinics so effective will enable us to efficiently distribute H1N1 influenza vaccines when those supplies arrive.
Please keep in mind that there will be a limited supply of H1N1 vaccines available, and HUHS will be following guidelines established by the public health authorities to prioritize the distribution of the doses we receive.
