The university received this week 28 percent of the 10,300 doses of H1N1 vaccine it ordered and will be giving priority to students with underlying health conditions and campus residents, a university official said.

Don Mills, vice chancellor for student affairs, said the students given priority to receive the 2,900 vaccines will be notified by e-mail. To comply with government requirements about how the vaccine is being used, students will be asked to fill out a form online, even if they wish to decline the vaccine, Mills said.

“Not everyone is going to want to take the vaccine, so we think we’ll be OK with these,” he said.

The university expects additional vaccines but is uncertain about when they will be delivered, Mills said.

When students fill out the form online, they will be given a date and time to receive the vaccine to eliminate lines, Mills said. Students tapped to receive a vaccine who don’t fill out the form but visit the Brown-Lupton Health Center will be able to fill out the form there, he said.

The vaccines will be administered starting Monday. The university expects to have exhausted its supply by next week, Mills said.

“We’ll be able to staff depending on demand,” Mills said.

Students who do not receive a notification may consider getting a vaccine through the Tarrant County Public Health Department, which is offering vaccines to Tarrant County residents, Mills said.

TCPH received more than 19,000 doses of the H1N1 vaccine Nov. 20 and an additional 11,000 doses arrived Monday with more on the way, according to a TCPH press release on the county’s Web site.

Al Roy, TCPH public information officer, said any TCU student may go to any of 12 locations – seven health clinics and five storefront clinics – to get a free H1N1 vaccine.
