2007 Flu News

(* Flu Shots are Now Available * - November 2007)

Flu shots are available for any student, faculty or staff member at the UA who wishes to receive one. The ideal time to be vaccinated against the flu is in November and December. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends that people in the following situations seriously consider getting a flu shot every year:

  • Have a chronic (ongoing) illness
  • Have regular contact with children less than 6 months old
  • Children 6 to 59 months old
  • Are 65 years or older
  • Will be pregnant during the flu season (November – March)

Additionally, Campus Health encourages all students living in the residence halls to consider getting a flu shot since living in close quarters may put those individuals at higher risk for influenza.

By vaccinating yourself this Fall, you can protect your health and the health of others before the holiday travel season.

To receive your flu shot, simply stop by the Immunization Clinic at Campus Health Service. The clinic is open Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday from 8 am to 4 pm and Wednesdays from 9 am to 4 pm. The price of the flu vaccine is $15.
