A Beihang freshman died from the A(H1N1) flu on October 27, though the student was not on campus when infected. Vaccinations for Peking University students will begin this weekend, according the university's website.

Though there is no strict order for who must be vaccinated first, the government is working to make sure primary and middle school students will all be vaccinated by November 15th, Pang said. Other groups of people will receive vaccinations later.
