To date, the UW–Madison campus has not seen additional outbreaks of H1N1 influenza during the start of the spring semester. This year, University Health Services vaccinated 7,044 students with the H1N1 vaccine, and another 9,792 received seasonal flu shots, both records for the university.

Should your student become ill this semester, the same advice applies: good hygiene and self-isolation is important to stop the virus from spreading, as is communication with faculty members. Updates on the flu will continue to be posted at flu.wisc.edu.
