It is likely that the College and surrounding community will see significant numbers of H1N1 influenza cases this fall and winter. Most people who come down with the H1N1 flu recover without complications. The College has made detailed plans and preparations for dealing with an influenza outbreak. All of our strategies are based on recommendations from the Centers for Disease Control and the NH Department of Health and Human Services. We will post updated information frequently to keep everyone informed.

Campus Update - Sunday, Nov 22, 2009

As of Monday November 16, the Center for Health and Wellness reported an additional 39 cases of ILI to the American College Health Association. While less than the 100 cases we reported last week, this should not be interpreted as significant. We continue to recommend following precautionary measures to prevent the spread of the virus, and that students and staff remain in self-isolation if they develop Influenza-like illness (ILI) symptoms.

We have received H1N1 vaccine for our "at risk" students and will be vaccinating them this week. Plans continue to develop for a clinic for our general student population when more vaccine becomes available.
