Pandemic Plan

The University of St. Thomas is committed to a healthy campus community. This website has been designed to provide updates and information about the 2009 H1N1 flu virus as it occurs on campus. We will remain attentive regarding changes and will communicate any changes through this website. If there are radical events, which may have a major effect for the St. Thomas community, announcements may also be transmitted via the Bulletin and individual e-mails. However, all announcements will be directing attention back to this website for a more complete set of information.

Please review the H1N1 Triage Protocol for assistance in determining if you need to be evaluated by a health care provider. If additional help is indicated, please contact the St. Thomas Student Health Services at 651.962.6750 or the toll-free Minnesota Department of Public Health FluLine at 1- 866-259-4655.

Weekly Updates

University of St. Thomas H1N1 Weekly Report: Dec. 7, 2009

By Madonna McDermott, director, Student Health Service & Wellness Center

The H1N1 flu mist vaccine now is available to University of St. Thomas faculty, staff and students under the age of 50. This form of the vaccine is sprayed into the nose rather than given as an injection or shot.

The vaccine will be administered from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Tuesday, Dec. 8, in Room LL02, located on the lower level of Koch Commons on the university’s St. Paul campus.

Tuesday’s clinic is being held in Koch Commons, instead of the Tommie Triage Trailer, so faculty, staff, students don’t have to wait in line outdoors in the cold weather.

Important: St. Thomas faculty, staff and students can receive the flu mist vaccine only if:

  • They are between the ages of 18 and 49.
  • They are not pregnant.
  • They do not have any of the medical conditions that are listed on this Minnesota Department of Health check list. (This is a check list of conditions that would prohibit someone from receiving the H1N1 mist.)

A $10 administration fee will be charged.

For more information call the Student Health Service, (651) 962-6750.
