Consumerist: H1N1 "Swine" Flu Vaccination Approved
Good news for Marietta College students (and anybody else in our age range, really).
The H1N1 “Swine” Flu vaccination has been approved by the FDA for four companies to manufacture and distribute.
Our age range (18 to 24) is considered especially at risk for the “Swine” flu because we have not been exposed to a strain like this before. Â Opposite of a typical flu, where the elderly are more susceptible, they are nearly immune to it.
It has been mentioned before that the college is bringing flu shots to Upper Gilman sometime in the next month, with “Swine” flu vaccinations on campus in late October or sometime in November.
