H1N1 Flu Vaccinations
UB Student Health Services will now be offering the vaccine by appointment to the following Centers for Disease Control and Prevention defined priority STUDENT populations:
- Students who are pregnant - H1N1 vaccination is highly recommended for pregnant women. However, Health Services does not have and will not be supplied with Thimersol-free H1N1 vaccine. Students who are pregnant may consult with their obstetrician to determine their best option for vaccination. Health Services will provide the vaccine by appointment – call 716-829-3316.
- Students 24 years of age or younger. Please call Health Services (716-829-3316) to schedule a H1N1 influenza vaccination appointment.
- Students 25 years of age or older who are immune compromised or have chronic health condition(s). Please call Health Services (716-829-3316) to schedule a H1N1 influenza vaccination appointment.
We are not guaranteed to receive additional supply of H1N1 vaccine. Therefore, we encourage students who do not meet the above criteria to contact their primary care provider or take advantage of community resources as they become available. If/when we receive additional vaccine supply, we will utilize this website to provide up to date information.
Seasonal Flu (Influenza) Vaccinations
As reported in October, UB Health Services has exhausted our supply of seasonal flu vaccine. It is unknown if/when we will receive a refill shipment. We continue to encourage University community members to either visit their primary care provider or take advantage of locally sponsored flu clinics: PDF (74KB) | Word (26KB).
