Campus to have Flu clinics, shots
A serious outbreak of influenza, which has been reported in five eastern states, California and Alaska, could be adequately handled at KU, reports Dr. Raymond Schwegler, acting director of Watkins Memorial Hospital.
If an epidemic threatens KU, plans call for clinics to be set up in the residence halls. Nurses could even go room to room taking temperatures if necessary, Dr. Schweegler explained.
"Watkins Hospital is definitely not able to handle an epidemic of this type," he said.
Students can now receive flu shots without charge in Watkins Memorial Hospital. Within a few days, several more clinics will be set up around the campus.
DR. SCHWEGLER said that it is not known how effective the shots are.
"It's a hard thing to prove. We think they are effective, but to absolutely prove the point is difficult."
One shot is preventative against both type A and type B strains of the Asian flu virus.
The shot should cause no severe reaction unless a person is ill when he receives it.

Clinic hours and locations tomorrow are:
- From 8 to 11 a.m., main lobby of Strong Hall;
- From 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., Ellsworth Hall;
All normal hours in Watkins Hospital injection room.
"This is most disturbing, since conceivably a large number of students could be kept from classes for days or weeks," he added.
Two flu viruses are now threatening epidemics in parts of the U.S. In California, the worst hit, type A flu virus spread through Los Angeles and 18 counties. The flu in California could hit KU and Lawrence in only two days, Dr. Schwegler said.
Type B flu virus has spread in the eastern and southern U.S. and is somewhat less infectious than the Asian variety.
