H1N1 Flu Vaccine for Mercer Students
The Student Health Center on the Macon campus has received an initial shipment of the H1N1 vaccine. The vaccine is a single dose injection. If you have recently received the seasonal flu shot, there is no waiting period required for you to receive the H1N1 vaccine.
The vaccine will be available to currently enrolled Mercer students attending the Macon campuses. All students enrolled in the School of Medicine (with the exception of MPH students) are receiving the vaccine through a separate shipment and should not come to Student Health.
Students must present a current student ID (Bearcard) at the time of they receive their injection.
Students can receive the vaccine (as long as supplies last) on a first-come, first-served basis at the Student Health Center on the following dates and times:
- Monday, Wednesday, Thursday: 8:30-11:30 a.m.
- Tuesday, Friday: 1-4.30 p.m.
There is no cost for the vaccine. Students must present a current student ID in order to receive the vaccine. The Student Health Center cannot determine when additional shipments of the vaccine will arrive.
