Where Can I Get the Flu Vaccine?
Flu vaccines (mist) are free to faculty, staff and students at Health Services. It is very important to get a flu vaccine this year during the COVID-19 pandemic. The two viruses present with similar symptoms clinically. You can be infected with both viruses at the same time. This could cause your body complications while battling both the flu and COVID-19. It is still essential to wear a face covering and practice social distancing.
