FLU VACCINE now available for staff and students
The WHO recommended 2008 'Flu Vaccine' will be available for staff and students through the College Health Service from Monday the 29th of September 2008. The cost of administration of the vaccine is €30 for staff, €15 for students.
Contraindications to the administration of the vaccine are pregnancy, hyper sensitivity to egg products or previous reactions to 'flu vaccine.'
It is particularly recommended for patients who suffer from asthma, chronic chest conditions, heart problems, diabetes or kidney failure. Those staff or students wishing to avail of this vaccine may do so by making an appointment for vaccination Monday to Friday in the College Health Service over the next 8 weeks.
As the immunity takes up to two weeks to develop, the optimum time for administration is now until end of November.
