During the 2009 H1N1 influenza pandemic, Purdue University developed and tested specific floor plans for designated Points of Dispensing (POD) sites on campus. According to Ron Wright, director of Campus Emergency Preparedness and Planning, "The draft plans were used as a guideline as they were a 'work in progress' at the time of the H1N1 pandemic. The plans were adjusted as needed and will be finalized with the next revision of our Integrated Emergency Operations Plan."
Purdue's approach to mass vaccination clinics changed over the course of the flu season to minimize wait times and enhance efficiency of the university-county run clinics. Initially, the university lacked the technology to provide a computer-driven scheduling system to help reduce long lines and delays, but it soon adapted one.
