News & Announcements:
Influenza Information:
H1N1 Flu Vaccine Clinics-Updated 11/20/09:
H1N1 Vaccine is being manufactured and distributed by the federal
Government for administration to high priority groups. Healthy college
students are currently in the second tier of priority, even though
Influenza Like Illness has been very prevalent on college campus
across the country. Tufts Health Services has seen many cases this fall.
Unfortunately, vaccine availability continues to be very delayed in
Massachusetts. We have no idea when we will start to get shipments,
and it might not be until well after the New Year. The situation is
as frustrating to us as it is to the Tufts Community, and we hope you
understand that it is out of our control. Once clinics are scheduled,
we will post dates and advertise widely.
Helpful Isolation Guidelines for Students Off Campus or at Home
These guidelines will be helpful to you, your roommates and the
rest of the Tufts community as you recover.
