source: Despite campus-wide efforts to eliminate the H1N1 virus at UCF, four more cases have been confirmed since Monday and UCF officials are saying college-aged students are the most susceptible age to obtain the virus.

Two more cases of the H1N1 flu at UCF were confirmed late Monday, one was confirmed Tuesday and another Wednesday, according to UCF officials.

There have been 11 confirmed cases of H1N1 flu since UCF’s first confirmed case June 17.

Bob Wirag, director of UCF Health Services, said they are not sure what contact the students have had with each other, but know two students have had the same academic class together.

“We are in the process of looking into that to at least alert the professor of that class to encourage some of the prevention efforts,” Wirag said.

He also said staff and advisers have been advised to look for students who may be sick and encourage them to seek medical attention.

“That is just a small percentage of the cases that we think are out there,” James Schaus, assistant clinical director of UCF Health Services, said at the press conference.

The average age for an H1N1 victim is 21 years old, Schaus said.
