Student Registration for H1N1 Vaccination (Pittsburgh Campus)

Pitt's next H1N1 flu vaccination clinic for Pittsburgh campus students is scheduled for 8:30-11 a.m. Tuesday, Nov. 24, at the Student Health Service, Suite 500 (5th floor) of the Medical Arts Building at 3708 Fifth Avenue.

This will be the first time that a Pittsburgh campus clinic will administer the vaccine in its injectable form. At the five previous H1N1 clinics held on campus, only the nasal-spray form of the vaccine was available.

The campus is using an online registration process to efficiently distribute H1N1 vaccine to students. At Tuesday's clinic, a limited supply of the shot form of the vaccine will be administered to students with registration numbers 1 through 800.

Students seeking vaccination against the H1N1 flu should register here or at my.pitt.edu.

Call Pitt's Flu Hotline at 412-624-2222 with questions about the vaccine or the H1N1 flu.

Updates also are available on the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) site. The CDC states that vaccines to protect against the H1N1 flu:

• Are made just like seasonal flu vaccines,

• Are expected to be as safe and effective as seasonal flu vaccines,

• Will not prevent "influenza-like" illnesses caused by other viruses, and

• Will not prevent seasonal flu. For protection against seasonal flu, get the seasonal flu vaccine.
