The first 50 people will be eligible to receive the vaccine.
The vaccine will be administered on Monday, November 16, 2009, from 7:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. at the University Hospital’s Corporate Health Department in the MCCO building next door to the Case Western Reserve Department of Occupational and Environmental Safety (DOES) department.
Those receiving the vaccine will be required to pre-register on the Ohio Department of Health H1N1 website, where they must complete the registration form, print it out and bring it with them to the clinic. If you are not one of the first 50 to sign up, you will be notified by email by Monday morning.
