Health Services

Dear Lewis Community Members,

You may have seen the recent media spots presented by the Illinois Department of Public Health:

“THE FLU: DON’T GET IT, DON’T SPEAD IT, GET VACCINATED.”

We currently have some H1N1 vaccine on hand and want to extend an offer for any interested students, faculty, staff and their families to receive this vaccination free of charge. We currently have only the non-live, injectable vaccine formulation.

For more information about H1N1 influenza and for information about the H1N1 influenza vaccine, please visit www.CDC.gov/h1n1flu.

Please contact the Center for Health and Counseling Services with any questions.
