WVU HAS 674 FLU-LIKE ILLNESSES

(11/03/2009)

WVU students will likely have to wait until the end of November to get an H1N1 flu vaccination. Last week, at least 674 cases of flu-like illness presumed to be swine flu have been reported on campus to date, according to Dr. Jan Palmer, director of WVU Student Health. Free clinics for students will be scheduled once the vaccine is available, but Palmer noted that supplies of the vaccine have been delayed nationwide. "WVU is still hoping to receive some vaccine by the end of November, and students will be notified as soon as the vaccine has been released," Palmer said. The number of people with flu-like illness has doubled in the past two weeks in Monongalia County.
