Health Services has now treated its first patient to test positive forinfluenza this season. PLEASE remember to take precautions to
reduce the spread of infection.
The CDC recommends that a student not attend classes until they have
been free of fever for 24 hours without the assistance of medication.
With patient permission Health Services can confirm a diagnosis of
influenza for instructors thus validating absences from class.
For further information regarding prevention, symptoms, and care please
see the Center for Disease Control's web site for influenza at:
http://www.cdc.gov/flu/
This site includes prevention posters that can be copied and posted in
your area.
Health Services still has flu vaccine available free for students and
for $15.00 to faculty, staff, and their dependents, ages 8 and above.
Please pay by check or bring the correct amount needed.
Keep the campus as healthy as possible as we head into the
holidays and those exams!
