Due to limited amounts, H1N1 in the injectable form is being offered only to those ECU students, faculty and staff who are over 50 years of age, or who are pregnant or have major health problems such as diabetes, asthma, heart disease, lung disease, or those persons on medications that may suppress their immunity such as chemotherapy agents or long term steroids.

ECU Student Health has dispensed all the injectable H1N1 vaccines provided by the manufacturer and CDC. More vaccine has been requested but Student Health Services is unsure when additional supplies will be delivered. Supplies of FluMist are still available.
If you have not received the H1N1 vaccine and are in the target group who need the injectable vaccine, (pregnant woman, caretaker of a child under six month of age, have underlying health conditions such as asthma, diabetes, immune compromised, etc. or are over 55 years old) please wait for additional supplies to be delivered. Additional clinics will be scheduled as supplies arrive.
H1N1 vaccine is still available for all students, faculty & staff up to 55 years old and who are in good health. Remaining clinics this week will be held:
- Wednesday on the Wright Plaza, 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.
- Thursday in Wright Auditorium Lobby, 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.
- Friday on the Wright Plaza, 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. As long as supplies last.
