The Purdue Student Health Center received another 200 doses of the H1N1 vaccines Friday.
The vaccines will be offered to students, faculty, staff and spouses of employees from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. at the health center. Only top priority groups are eligible for the vaccine. The groups include pregnant women, caregivers for children younger than 6 months, University healthcare and emergency medical personnel, along with individuals with underlying health conditions.
Priority guidelines for next week will be set by the Tippecanoe County Health Department based on guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Full-time students won’t be charged for the vaccine, but others will have to pay a $12 administrative fee. Those covered by a Purdue medical insurance plan will be reimbursed.
Individuals may call the Student Health Center’s Urgent Care Unit at 765-494-1724 to determine if they have a qualifying health condition.
