*UPDATE: FLU SHOTS NOT AVAILABLE*

Kirkwood Community College/St. Luke’s Work Well Solutions has canceled the dates for all Kirkwood on-campus seasonal flu vaccinations due to shortages being felt nationwide. Seasonal flu shot manufacturers switched their focus to the H1N1 vaccine. We have been informed that St. Luke’s Work Well Solutions will not be receiving any of their seasonal flu vaccination order. We apologize for any inconvenience.

Both dates Oct. 27^th & Oct. 29^th at the Cedar Rapids campus and the Iowa City campus will be canceled due to limited availability of the seasonal influenza vaccine. The seasonal flu vaccine, which is not a vaccination for the H1N1 virus, may still be available in limited quantities by visiting your primary care physician, county health department, local grocer or pharmacy. It is recommended to contact your primary care physician's office to inquire about seasonal flu shot availability or visit a retail location offering the shots. 

*Currently flu shot clinics are being held: A Ave Pharmacy, Hy-Vee Stores and Walgreens Drug Stores.  Call your nearest location for information.

· Kirkwood Wellness will reimburse the cost up to $24 for any full-time, part-time benefits-eligible, adjunct, or retiree that gets a Seasonal Flu shot through another means

· Reimbursement is available only for the Seasonal Flu vaccine, not for H1N1 vaccination

· Receipts for reimbursement must be submitted to Jill Williams - Johnson Hall    by 12/31/09
