Western Michigan University has received limited supplies of H1N1 vaccines and has begun to register students, staff, and faculty to administer the vaccine later this week, according to an e-mail sent out to WMU students, employees and retirees Monday morning.

The registration process helps Sindecuse prioritize who will get the vaccine as well as reduce long lines.

Vaccines will be prioritized by high-risk groups as defined by the Centers for Disease Control. The groups include pregnant women and people with chronic health problems.

Registrants will be notified the time and date of their vaccine via e-mail, which may take several weeks, according to the disclaimer to the registration. WMU will be receiving steady shipments of the vaccine.

Registration is available at wmich.edu/vaccine/
