Health Services received 700 more doses of swine flu vaccine Wednesday.

The second shipment arrived late last night, said Terri Cunningham, marketing coordinator for Health Services.

Health Services officials gave out the first batch of H1N1 vaccines Monday and ran out of most of the vaccines that day.

Out of the new vaccines, 600 are in nasal spray form and 100 are injectable, Cunningham said.

She said the most recent updates on the vaccines are available on Health Service’s Web site .

The nasal spray vaccine is meant for healthy, non-pregnant individuals who don’t have any chronic health problems and are between 2 and 49 years old, according to the Web site.

The injectable vaccine is limited to pregnant women and people age 4 and older with chronic medical conditions, according to the Web site.

Health Services will receive additional vaccines as they become available, according to the Web site.

Some members of the Western community got in line early Monday morning to be among the first people at Health Services to get the swine flu vaccine.

Health Services received 400 doses of the vaccine last week after requesting 2,000 doses earlier this semester and asking for an additional 500 doses last week, said Terri Cunningham, Health Services marketing coordinator.

By 4 p.m. Monday, Health Services was out of the injection form of the vaccine and had 20 doses left of nasal spray form, said Stacie Sutter, Health Services business manager.

She said workers gave the vaccines to about 67 people per hour starting at 8 a.m. Monday.

About 100 people showed up for the vaccine within the first 30 minutes of Health Services opening.

Cunningham said people who weren’t members of the Western community were turned away Monday because the vaccines were meant for patients associated with the school.

“Of course we are going to focus on campus community,” she said.

Health Services officials expected between 500 and 600 people to show up to get vaccinated, Sutter said.

They had 100 doses of the swine flu injection specifically for high risk patients, including pregnant women and healthcare and emergency workers with chronic medical conditions, according to the Health Services Web site.

Health Services also had 300 doses of the vaccine in nasal spray form for patients not in the high risk group. Healthy people between 2 and 49 years old fall into that category, according to the Web site.

To organize the process Monday morning, each patient was given a number and a questionnaire which determined whether they were eligible for the injectable or nasal vaccine, Sutter said.

They were then called back in groups of five or 10 and separated again into four rooms to receive the vaccine individually.

Irvington junior Gibby Jones was among the early crowd.

“It’s so contagious, and it’s such a big issue,” she said. “I thought I had it because someone came into my house who was confirmed with the flu.”

The limited supply and rarity of the vaccine made Jones come early in the morning so she wouldn’t miss out, she said.

Children are among the most at risk for swine flu, according to Health Services’ Web site.

Monica Burke, an assistant counseling and student affairs professor, took her sons to get vaccinated Monday morning.

“I’ve just heard about the number of children (getting sick), and I want to be proactive,” she said.

Burke came to Health Services because she said the pediatrician she takes her children to in Bowling Green ran out of the vaccine a couple weeks ago.

Leitchfield senior Derrick Dennison, said his mother, who’s a nurse, has been pressuring him to get the vaccine.

“It’s pretty serious across the world, and I’d rather be safe than sorry,” he said.
