H1N1 Flu Vaccine Information
	November 5, 2009 Norris Health Center will continue to schedule appointments until November 9, 2009 for UWM students that fit into the target groups reinforced by the State of Wisconsin 10/27/09. As of 11/4/09 the State of Wisconsin continued to identify the groups below as the target for vaccine at this time. UWM students who meet any of the following specific conditions are eligible to schedule an appointment to receive 2009 H1N1 vaccine currently available at Norris Health Center: � Pregnant � Live with or provide care for children aged less than 6 months old (e.g. parents, siblings and daycare providers) � Health care and emergency medical services personnel who have direct contact with patients or infectious material � 18 years of age or younger who have chronic medical conditions that place them at higher risk of influenza-like complications Students that meet any of these conditions, please call Colleen at 414-229-6668 to schedule an appointment for the 2009 H1N1 Vaccine. Calls will be returned in the order that they are received and within 24 hours. If you are not in one of the groups above your call will be returned within 2 business days. At the time of the call which 2009 H1N1 vaccine, injectable or LAIV (nasal), is appropriate based on what categories you fall into above will be reviewed. Please do not call the main number at Norris as the call volume is very high with other healthcare-related calls. CDC guidelines for distribution of vaccine with a limited supply can be found at http://www.cdc.gov/media/pressrel/2009/r090729b.htm As of today Norris Health Center has not received any additional vaccine. If and when the Norris Health Center receives more vaccine, the priority groups will expand to include � Persons 24 years of age or younger, and � People from ages 25 through 64 years who are at higher risk for novel H1N1 because of chronic health disorders or compromised immune systems. A decision of who is eligible for UWM campus clinics will be made based on the amount and type of supply. It is hoped that the university will receive enough vaccine to offer doses to all members of the campus community. Individuals should consider their local public health department clinics and their private doctor�s office as alternative sites for getting the vaccine. Please visit the website maintained by the UWM Pandemic Planning and Response Team www.flu.uwm.edu for pertinent web links and up-to-date information about flu and UWM.
