We are seeing significantly higher numbers of Influenza cases in the Health Center this week. 

You can help protect yourself by frequent handwashing, avoiding close contact with sick people, and taking care of yourself (sleep, nutrition, reduce stress). Taking Vitamin C after you have been exposed will not keep you from getting the Flu. 

If you got the Flu shot, you can still get the Flu, but it will typically not be as severe. 

Symptoms of the Flu almost always include a combination of fever, body aches and upper respiratory symptoms. 

If you are having symptoms, get tested as soon as possible. If you are diagnosed with the Flu, there are prescriptions that can help, but these must be started within 48 hours of the onset of symptoms. 

The Health Center is availble for students Monday through Friday 8:00 am to 5:00 pm. Call 512-863-1252 to schedule an appointment.
