Wellesley College dealing with increased number of H1N1 cases

(NECN) – A Massachusetts college is dealing with an increased number of students with symptoms of H1N1. A Wellesley College spokeswoman says about 20 students and a handful of employees have reported getting sick. That’s on top of the nearly 60 students who experienced flu-like symptoms earlier in the week. The school says most of the cases have been mild but they are taking precautions. Federal health officials say the first doses of the vaccine will be in the form of nasal spray. They also say the flu season started early, with most of the cases H1N1.
