Seasonal Flu vaccine is gone. If and when we get more we will offer it again to the Campus Community.
- STUDENTS:
- FACULTY AND STAFF :
Who should get a Seasonal flu shot? People who...
- want to avoid contracting seasonal influenza;
- work in child care or work in a nursing home;
- are immunocompromised from disease or medication;
- have chronic disease such as asthma, diabetes or heart, liver or lung disease;
- are pregnant (must receive thimerosal free vaccine).
Who should NOT get a flu shot? People who...
- had an allergic reaction to flu vaccine in the past;
- are allergic to eggs or chickens;
- developed Guillian-Barre syndrome, a rare, serious autoimmune disease of the nerves outside the brain and the spinal cord. If you have had this disease after flu vaccine you are more likely to get it again;
- have a fever right now. When your fever is gone you can return for flu vaccine.
FYI... In the United States over 36,000 people die of Seasonal Flu every year. You should protect yourself by getting a free seasonal flu shot and you will also help to protect those around you.
