Wayne State University has received a limited supply of H1N1 vaccine for its employees.  The vaccine will be delivered in small and sporadic batches making it necessary to prioritize who receives the vaccine. 

The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has identified pregnant women as a priority target group for the immunization. It is not possible to completely avoid encountering individuals with the flu in the workplace or in the community-at-large, and that is why we are making H1N1 vaccine available to those with CDC priority who decide to receive the immunization.

At this point, WSU will be offering vaccine to benefits-eligible pregnant employees or their benefits-eligible pregnant spouse while supplies last.  For these individuals, the vaccine will be available at the University Pharmacy beginning Monday, November 9th and continuing through Friday, November 13th.  

University Pharmacy is located at the Towers on Anthony Wayne Drive across from parking structure #2.  University Pharmacy is open Monday-Thursday 9 a.m.-7 p.m. and Friday 9 a.m.-5 p.m.  You must make an appointment for the immunization by calling (313) 831-2008. 

The immunization is FREE to pregnant employees and spouses enrolled in Health Alliance Plan, Blue Care Network and DMC Care.

You MUST pay $18 for the immunization, if you are enrolled in Blue Cross and Blue Shield, Total Health Care or Community Blue, OR if you receive cash-in-lieu of medical insurance, OR if you do not bring your health insurance card.

Checks should be made payable to: University Pharmacy; cash (exact change only) will be accepted. You MUST bring your health insurance card, WSU One Card and government-issued picture ID.

WSU hopes to obtain more vaccine each week, however, the timeliness and quantity of shipments is not guaranteed.  It is important that we work together to allow those at higher risk of complications from H1N1 first priority.
