Students with registration Nos. 1 to 800 can receive the vaccine at Student Health Service from 8:30 to 11 a.m. Tuesday, according to Pitt’s website.

The vaccine that Pitt has offered in the past has come in the form of a nasal spray. Pitt’s website suggests that people who are pregnant, have a chronic medical condition, such as asthma or heart disease, or are immunocompromised take the injectable form of the vaccine instead of the nasal spray.

To register for the vaccine, visit my.pitt.edu or www.pc.pitt.edu/flu.
