Spread the word, not the Flu. Stop by Student Health for your Flu shot. Free of charge!*
Date: February 13, 2018
Time: 11am-1pm
Location: Student Health Why is getting a Flu Shot So Important?
The flu virus changes and adapts every year, which is why it's so widespread and difficult to avoid. The flu shot is crucial because it prompts your immune system to produce antibodies. In turn, these antibodies help the body fight off the types of flu viruses that are present in the vaccine. *While supplies last.
