H1N1 INFORMATION
• You MUST pre-register for H1N1 vaccination online, print your registration form, and bring the form with you in order to be vaccinated. NO EXCEPTIONS. You may pre-register at https://h1n1vaccine.odh.ohio.gov.
• Ohio Wesleyan has received enough H1N1 vaccine to accommodate our entire student body.
• Per Centers for Disease Control guidelines, H1N1 vaccination is available only to students under age 25. (OWU is not permitted to distribute vaccine to non-students.)
• H1N1 vaccination will be via nasal mist, unless you have a medical condition that prevents you from using the mist, in which case you will receive a shot.
• Cost is $5 per student and may be paid via cash or check, or charged to your student account at the time of service.
REGULAR SEASONAL FLU INFORMATION
• Regular season flu vaccine is in limited supply and will be provided on a first-come, first-served basis.
• All regular seasonal flu vaccine is injectable (vs. nasal mist) so that students will be able to receive both flu vaccinations at once.
• Cost for regular seasonal flu is $20 per student and may be paid via cash or check, or charged to your student account at the time of service.
All eligible students are urged to receive H1N1 vaccination, but vaccination is especially important if you have a chronic health condition such as asthma, diabetes, heart disease, or a suppressed immune system.
