Stay Flu-Free This Winter
Time to get the Flu shot! Protect yourself from influenza this winter. Call your local pharmacy to get more information.
The single best way to prevent seasonal flu is to get vaccinated.
Due to staffing issues, the Flu Vaccine is not currently available at Health Services. We highly recommended that all students receive an annual influenza vaccination.
You can reach out to your local pharmacy for information about receiving the influenza vaccine.
