[Important Information for Employees] Getting a flu shot to stay healthy ✅ Getting a flu shot on-campus ✅

[Marco Ayala-Perez]

Dear Cardinals,


When the temperatures drop and fall arrives, so does cold and flu season.
There are several ways to stay healthy, and most of them depend on creating
healthy habits.


Getting a flu shot is the best way to prevent the flu and it is easy and
covered by insurance, and now it is even easier to get yours. The Student
Health and Counseling Center is sponsoring an *On-Campus Flu Clinic* in
collaboration with the Cornerstone & Keeseville Pharmacies.


Where?  The Relaford Room in Macomb Hall (across from EOP)

When? Thursday, October 24th from 10 am to 2 pm

What do I need? Bring your health insurance information to the appointment


If you do not have health insurance, there will also be an option to pay
cash for your flu shot ($30).

If you already have symptoms of a cold or flu, here are some ways to
mitigate and treat your symptoms:

Rest: Your body needs rest to fight off an infection and heal.

Hydrate: Drink plenty of fluids like water, juice, soup, or warm lemon
water with honey to prevent dehydration and loosen congestion. Avoid
alcohol, coffee, and sodas, which can make dehydration worse.

Soothe a sore throat: Gargle with warm salt water, or try throat lozenges,
hard candy, ice chips, or sore throat sprays.

Ease congestion: Use a humidifier or cool mist vaporizer, or breathe in
steam from a hot shower or bowl of hot water. You can also try saline nasal
spray or drops to thin mucus.

Take medication: Acetaminophen (Tylenol) or ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin IB)
can help with fever, muscle aches, or headache.

Prevent the spread: Stay away from sick people, wash your hands frequently,
and cough and sneeze into the crook of your arm. Getting a flu shot is an
excellent way to stay healthy.


*Remember that staying healthy starts with you.  See you at the flu clinic,
Cardinals!*
