Flu Vaccination

People working on the CERN site who wish to be vaccinated against influenza may go to the Medical Service (ground floor, Bldg. 57) without an appointment (preferably between 14:00 and 16:00), PROVIDED THAT THEY BRING THEIR OWN VACCINE WITH THEM.

Ideally, vaccination should take place between 1st October and 30th November 2006.

The influenza vaccine is recommended for CERN staff aged 50 and over. Vaccination is particularly important for those suffering from chronic lung, cardio-vascular
or kidney problems, for diabetics and for those convalescing from serious medical problems or major surgery.

The Medical Service will not administer vaccines to family members or retired staff members, who must contact their family doctor.
