Information regarding Novel H1N1 Flu for the University of Kentucky community
The University of Kentucky will continue to update the campus community as warranted based on changes to the situation.
Novel H1N1 Flu
University of Kentucky officials are closely monitoring the Novel H1N1 outbreak. UK's Pandemic Planning Workgroup has been meeting since April, and we continue to work with local health agencies to receive the most current information. The safety of students, faculty, staff, and patients remains our top priority, and contingency plans will be implemented quickly if the situation worsens.
This website will be updated as needed throughout the semester. Please use the links in the left menu to learn more about how to protect yourself and what to do if you believe you have the virus. In the meantime, we hope that you enjoy your time at UK and take full advantage of all that the campus has to offer.

CDC Reports H1N1 Vaccine Email Hoax
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is alerting the public about fraudulent emails (phishing) referencing a need to register on a CDC website for the H1N1 vaccine. The CDC has NOT implemented a state vaccination program requiring registration and warns that users who click on the email are at risk of having malicious code installed on their system.
