Flu activity remains relatively low here at SCU and nationally. Most of the current flu continues to be 2009 H1N1. Flu activity, caused by either H1N1 or seasonal flu viruses, may continue over the weeks and months ahead. With a new virus it is difficult to predict how the virus will continue to spread. Health officials continue to encourage all individuals to get the H1N1 vaccine.
The H1N1 vaccine is available at Cowell Student Health Center. There is a $15.00 administration fee which can be paid by cash, check or student account. Walk-in requests for vaccination are Monday through Friday from 8:30 am to 4:00 pm.
The Center for Disease Control continues to stress the importance of everyday preventive actions: covering your cough/sneeze, frequent hand washing for 20 seconds, staying home when sick, and getting vaccinated.
