LOS ANGELES H1N1 FLU INFORMATION
October 27, 2009
To the Los Angeles Program Community:
H1N1 influenza vaccine is arriving in the state of California in very limited quantities, and this early vaccine is targeted to health care workers and high-risk individuals. By the end of October, the California Department of Public Health expects the vaccine to be more widely available. At that time, vaccine will be offered to the public at selected locations.
CVS Pharmacy does offer the seasonal flu shot and may provide the H1N1 vaccination in the coming weeks. The following CVS location will be the most convenient for you:

It is advisable for all Los Angeles students to consult the website of the Center for Health and Wellness at Emerson College regarding flu prevention and preparedness, and also speak with their families prior to any vaccinations.
