Over 50 Drake students received free H1N1 vaccinations Monday at the American Republic Student Health Center.

There were approximately 45 doses left as of Tuesday afternoon. The university decided to hold a second walk-in clinic on Wednesday.

Health Center Office Staff Coordinator Jackie Robinson said she wasn’t sure why more students didn’t come to receive the vaccination the first time around.

“We really thought there’d be a lot more people than what there was,” she said. “We’d like more people to get it.”

Only students with chronic health conditions are eligible to receive the vaccine at this point. Chronic health conditions include: asthma, diabetes and cancer. If a person with a chronic health condition gets H1N1, they are put at risk for further health complications.

Drake originally received 100 doses of the vaccine, and Robinson said she thinks the uni­versity could get more if students take advan­tage of the clinics.

“If we get rid of them, then the state will give us more so that we can keep vaccinating people,” she said.
