Coughing students and media coverage of the recently-released H1N1 vaccine have prompted talk on campus about the vaccine, especially its effectiveness.
UNC ordered more than 30,000 vaccines, enough for every student and faculty member at UNC. It has yet to receive anything close to the full amount.
Many students are worried about the effectiveness of the vaccine. Some students plan to take it; others plan to hope for the best.

"I usually don't stress about getting sick or anything, but I would take it if it was free." - Brian Kim, sophomore, psychology, Asheville
"It's a good idea but at the same time it could build a resistance. There should definitely be a choice about whether or not we want to take it." - Jackson Gillespie, sophomore, business, Austin, Tx.
"The vaccine manufacturers are so concerned with getting the vaccine out to people quickly, it probably isn't going to be as high-quality of a vaccine as it should be." - Max Harris, junior, public policy, Weston, Conn.
