Production glitch
delays flu shots
BY LESLEY OWUSU
Students who want to avoid
the flu by getting a flu shot will
have to wait.
A glitch in the production of
the flu vaccine is forcing people
across the country to face a
delay in getting their annual
shots this fall.
The University Health
Center has ordered 4,200 doses
of the vaccine and is waiting for
the supply, said Joseph
Hermsen, a physician at the
University Health Center.
Health Center employees
expect to receive the order of
vaccines by the end of October,
he said. Administration of the
shots will begin immediately
after that
The length of delays across
the country depends on who the
manufacturers and distributors
are and when the vaccine was
ordered, said Tim Timmons,
Communicable Disease
Program Supervisor of the
Lancaster County Health
Department
Timmons said there is not a
shortage of the vaccine, just a
delay in the shipping.
The University Health
Center could begin providing
the flu vaccination by Nov. 1,
which is a month later than
usual, Hermsen said.
The Lincoln-Lancaster
County Health Department,
3140 N St., also expects to begin
providing the flu immuniza
tions by Nov. 1, Timmons said.
Those at high risk for the flu
are often elderly people and
medical workers But, the
influenza vaccine is strongly
recommended for all people,
particularly young adults,
Hermsen said.
He said it’s important for
college students to get the shot.
“(The flu) is bad news for
college students,” Hermsen
said. “The illness can cause
inconvenience and missed days
of school for students.”
The cost of the flu immu
nization will be $7 for students.
The shot will be provided on a
first come-first served basis.
New USDA pact
regulates research
XGXG from page 1
“We feel we did the best
thing we could," she said. “This
way, we can write the rule and
have time to seek input from the
public."
The USDA will draft a rule
within a “reasonable" time
frame, McAvoy said. But she said
it was too difficult at this point
to speculate on the effects the
rule might have.
U.S. Secretary of Agriculture
Dan Glickman issued a letter
Thursday in response to those
concerned about the effect the
agreement could have' on
research.
In the letter, Glickman
emphasized the importance of
scientific and medical research
and said the new rule should not
hinder the work being done.
“We at USDA recognize the
tremendous contributions of
the biomedical research com
munity and the key role that rats
and mice play,” he wrote.
The settlement is pending
approval of a federal judge.

the renovated grounds.

recently restored meditation
bridge and pond.
Hutchinson said benches
have been placed around the
pond allowing people to picnic
in the park or to sit and enjoy the
cemetery’s pair of black necked
swans.
In the nearby historic car
riage house, Hutchinson said
children’s face painting and
pumpkin decorating will be
available.
