How has UWF prepared for an H1N1 outbreak?
The UWF Administration has been closely monitoring H1N1 since the spring and is following the recommendations from the Centers for Disease Control. Earlier this summer, UWF’s President assembled a cross-divisional team of health care professionals and administrators to develop a plan for responding to the H1N1 virus. As part of that effort, the university endorsed the CDC Guidelines for Response to Influenza for Higher Education. We will continue to monitor and follow the CDC’s recommendations. Additionally, we continue to work with the Escambia County Health Department on plans for administering the H1N1 vaccine on campus when it becomes available.
