Flu cases on the University of Wisconsin-Madison campus held steady last week, according to the weekly flu report from University Health Services.

Seventy-two cases were evaluated at the clinic on campus in the ninth week of the semester (Oct. 25-31), down two cases from the previous week.

For the semester, 1,101 cases of students with influenza-like illness have been evaluated by UHS. The most was in the second week of the semester when 345 cases were evaluated.

UHS had planned to start large-scale H1N1 vaccination clinics this week, but the clinics have been postponed due to delays in getting the H1N1 vaccine.

Seasonal flu vaccinations are available for free at the clinic, on the sixth floor at 333 East Campus Mall, during normal business hours 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday, as well as in residence halls.
