Updated Swine Flu Numbers

There have been 260 cases of influenza-like illnesses on campus since the beginning of September, UHS executive director John Kolligian reported this afternoon at the CPUC (Council for the Princeton University Community) meeting.While the University does not test all reported flu cases for H1N1, they are assuming--and treating as if--they are. Kolligian said campus figures are roughly in line with national and state trends.Vaccines for H1N1 are scheduled to arrive in small batches in the next few weeks. Kolligian also said the seasonal flu vaccines that were administered a couple weeks ago in Frist do not protect against H1N1.
