About the H1N1 Vaccine
The CDC reports that a separate vaccine for the swine Influenza A (H1N1) virus is under development and could be available later this fall. As soon as we have information outlining the national distribution guidelines for the H1N1 vaccine, we will immediately share that information with the Columbia community.
For more information about the University’s plans and preparation for the H1N1 situation, please visit the Columbia Preparedness website.
