Dear Students,

Just a reminder:

If you were unable to obtain the flu vaccine during the October clinic held in Benson, we do have the vaccine available here at the Health Center.  Walk-in requests for immunizations are Monday through Friday from 8:30 am to 4:00 pm, except Thursdays we open at 9:15 am.  The cost of the vaccine is $27.00 and the charge can be posted to your student account, or paid with your flex account, cash or check.

The influenza vaccine is the primary method of preventing influenza and its severe complications.

If you are in any of the following groups or live in a household with someone who is, the CDC recommends that you get the flu vaccine:

• You are 50 years of age or older
• You have chronic diseases of your heart, lungs or kidneys
• You have diabetes
• Your immune system does not function properly
• You have a severe form of anemia
• You have a muscle or nerve disorder that can lead to breathing or swallowing problems
• You will be pregnant during influenza season
• You want to reduce your chance of catching influenza

Cowell Student Health Center encourages disease prevention whenever possible.
Therefore, we encourage you to consider obtaining the flu vaccine.
