This year's delay in service was due to the difficulty in locating a large volume of vaccine, Padilla said. The schedule for courtesy flu shots is listed on below. Go to the second-floor reception area to register. The rest of the year, an employee may get a flu shot in the clinic through his or her primary care physician for a co-payment. Flu, also called influenza, is caused by viruses that infect the respiratory tract.
Most people recover from it in one to two weeks.
The actual flu season is December through April. Experts recommend getting a flu shot earlier since the vaccine does not provide protection for the first week or two. The food sales and shirt day will be held Friday, Oct. 23. Shirts will be judged and small prizes awarded during the noon hour in the student services lounge. Participation is important, even if the gift is small.
