Other options for obtaining the vaccine

The County has also informed the college that some area private healthcare providers (physicians, clinics, pharmacies, etc.) are still offering the seasonal flu vaccine, based on availability.

The college continues to pursue the possibility of making flu shots available for students and staff. However due to the limited supply of both vaccines, a date has not yet been secured.
