Best Way to Tell the Flu to Shoo

October 13, 2014

sick kidThe flu season is fast approaching and faculty, staff, and students can take measures to minimize the risk of contracting the disease, according to Susan Chisum, health center.

First and foremost, get the seasonal flu vaccine! According to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), most deaths and hospitalizations from influenza and its related complications occur in babies, the elderly, and people with weakened immune systems. However, the majority of flu is spread by young, healthy, unvaccinated children and adults. That’s why vaccination is such an important part of flu prevention. Keep our campus healthy by getting your flu vaccine today. Spread the word about the flu vaccine and encourage all members of our campus community to get vaccinated. The health center has flu vaccine available by calling 7134 and scheduling a time to be vaccinated.

Don’t Take The Flu Lightly

October 14, 2013

_1aFlu Sick GirlWhy should people get vaccinated against the flu? Influenza is a serious disease that can lead to hospitalization and sometimes even death. Every flu season is different, and influenza infection can affect people differently. Even healthy people can get very sick from the flu and spread it to others.

The “seasonal flu season” in the United States can begin as early as October and last as late as May. During this time, flu viruses are circulating in the population. An annual seasonal flu vaccine is the best way to reduce the chances that you will get seasonal flu and spread it to others. When more people get vaccinated against the flu, less flu can spread through that community. The health center has a limited supply of flu vaccine available for a $15 fee. If you missed last week’s flu vaccination clinic on campus, please contact the health center at 7134 and schedule a time to get vaccinated.
