Flu Season
The Flu shots will be available at the beginning of September, 2023. We will send out emails on Campus Flu Clinics when it is available. The best time to get your Flu shot is between October and March.
Common symptoms of seasonal influenza are high fever, chills, cough, sore throat, headache, body ache, fatigue, runny nose, and occasional intestinal complaints. People who become ill will suffer mild to moderate symptoms for several days and recover fully in about a week. Most of those that become ill will not need to see a physician.
