** Seasonal & H1N1 Flu Vaccinations Available On Campus Soon **

Updated Information: Seasonal & H1N1 Flu Vaccinations Available On Campus in November

Preventing the spread of infection during flu season is a top priority at Foothill College. Seasonal Flu and H1N1 Flu virus awareness is everyone's responsibility, and the college is pursuing its on-campus vaccination program in two phases which is the method preferred by the Centers for Disease Control & Prevention (CDC). Faculty and staff should encourage students to get vaccinated so the campus can avoid a major breakout. Foothill College Associate Vice President Denise Swett will notify college personnel when the campus receives its allotment of 7,500 H1N1 vaccinations from the federal government. This is expected to occur by early November. Foothill will then offer on-campus H1N1 vaccinations to currently enrolled students at no charge and to FHDA employees for $10 from the following first-priority groups:

• Currently enrolled Foothill students age 24 or younger;
• Parents and caretakers of infants, age 6 months or younger ;
• Women who are pregnant ;
• Health care workers, emergency services personnel and police officers; and
• Adults, ages 25 to 64, who have chronic health conditions (arthritis, asthma, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, HIV infection etc.)
  

Foothill College will offer H1N1 Flu vaccinations to the remainder of our campus community when the college receives its second allotment of vaccines, which is expected in early December. If you have questions about allergies, vaccine contraindications, and whether you should or should not get vaccinated, call the Foothill College Health Services Office at (650) 949-7243.
