The University announced in an e-mail that Student Health Services will offer both the injectable and the nasal spray forms of the vaccine from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. every Monday through Friday. Students should call ahead to schedule an appointment.

The University has enough vaccines to cover all students who have already registered for it, according to the e-mail. The University suggests that people who are pregnant or have a chronic medical condition, such as asthma or heart disease, take the injectable form of the vaccine instead of the nasal spray.

Students who are allergic to eggs or are severely ill should not take the vaccine.

Some adults ages 18 to 49 have reported having headaches or muscle aches after taking the vaccine. Some who have taken the injectable form of the vaccine have reported having soreness or redness around the injection site, according to the e-mail.
