The buzz on campus

Two H1N1 clinics coming to campus

Two H1N1 vaccine clinics are scheduled in Student Recreation and Wellness Center 245 on Tuesday, Nov. 24, from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., and Tuesday, Dec. 1, from 1 to 4 p.m.

At these clinics, free H1N1 vaccine will be available to individuals in the Centers for Disease Control's Tier 1 risk categories, which are as follows:

• Persons ages 18 through 24 years of age (Flumist is encouraged and will be available)
• Health care workers and emergency service personnel with direct patient care
• Persons age 25 through 64 with chronic medical conditions or weakened immune systems

Note: Vaccine for pregnant women will not be available. Pregnant women should contact their physician for recommendations.

For accountability purposes, Student Health Services and the Akron Health Department are requesting that you respect the tiers designated by the Ohio Department of Health and the Centers for Disease Control.

To speed up vaccine data entry, we encourage students, faculty and staff who are in one of the Tier 1 risk categories listed above, and who wish to receive the vaccine, to preregister at the Ohio Department of Health Web site. Preregistration is simple and you will be able to print off and bring your preregistration form to the clinic. Appointments are not needed and service will be available on a first-come basis.

For specific questions about H1N1 influenza or H1N1 vaccines, please call the Akron Health Department's Flu Hotline at 330-375-2876.

Men's soccer tickets expected to go fast

UA's Darlington Nagbe

---

UA's men's soccer team was awarded the No. 1 seed in the NCAA Men’s Soccer Championship. The Zips will host the winner of Thursday's Stetson-South Florida match this Sunday at 4 p.m. at Lee Jackson Field. As the top seed, Akron receives a first round bye and the right to host three games through the quarterfinal round.

Tickets are $10 for adults and $5 for students and youth. Because this is an NCAA event, and not a University event, Akron students will have to pay the $5 for admittance. Each round is expected to be a sell out, so fans are encouraged to purchase their tickets in advance.

For more information or to secure your 2009 NCAA Men’s Soccer Tournament tickets, call the Akron Athletics Ticket Office at 330-972-6920 or visit the Athletics Ticket Office, located at Gate 1 in InfoCision Stadium at Exchange and Brown/Union streets. Tickets may also be purchased online.
