Letter from President Destler

FROM: Bill Destler, RIT president

SUBJECT: Free H1N1 Flu Vaccination Clinic on Jan. 8

DATE: January 4, 2010

Don’t get sick, get vaccinated! RIT will have an H1N1 flu vaccination clinic on Friday, January 8th for all students, staff and faculty. The clinic will be held in the Gordon Field House from 10 am until 4 pm. Everyone must show an RIT identification card in order to receive the vaccination. There is no charge for the vaccine.

Please put your health at the top of your to-do list. We’ve completed half of the academic year, and now have experience with H1N1 (swine) Flu on the RIT campus. We experienced a spike in flu cases in late October and continuing in November. The RIT community responded well and the overall impact was minimal.

Prior to the holiday break, the number of cases of the flu was reduced significantly. But our community still must remain prepared and ready as the 2009-2010 flu season extends into the spring. We can expect another spike in flu cases in the coming weeks, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

I want to remind each of you of the things you should do to be ready for the flu:
