Flu Shot Clinic on the UA Mall

The Campus Health Service will hold a flu shot clinic on the UA Mall on
Thursday from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. for all members of the University of
Arizona community.

Limited supplies of both H1N1 and seasonal flu vaccines will

be available. Because the H1N1 vaccine is supplied by the

federal government at no charge, it is free. The seasonal flu shot costs $15; Campus Health can bill insurance companies.

As we enter the peak period of the traditional annual flu season

(January through March), it is especially important for

everyone to get a flu shot if they have not already done so.

Most experts believe that we will continue to see H1N1

flu -- a third wave -- in communities across the Northern

Hemisphere during the coming months.

The H1N1 flu vaccine is available now in ample supplies

and everyone is encouraged to get one. This includes

people in high-risk groups who have not yet received the

H1N1 vaccine:

> Pregnant women
> Household contacts and caregivers of children who are
less than 6 months old
> Everyone between 6 months and 24 years old
> Anyone between 24 and 64 years old who has a chronic
medical condition

PLEASE NOTE: Because of increased supplies of the H1N1

vaccine, anyone who wants to be vaccinated -- regardless of

whether they fall into the high-risk categories --

can receive the H1N1 vaccine.

For those who cannot attend the clinic on the Mall,

the Campus Health Service has injectable H1N1 vaccine

and a limited supply of injectable seasonal flu vaccine available

through its Immunization Clinic, located off the main lobby of the

Campus Health Service in Highland Commons.
