Immunizations:
The Student Health Center offers most commercially available vaccines including Gardasil, Hepatitis A and B, Influenza, Meningitis, MMR, Polio, Rabies, Tetanus, and Typhoid Fever.
If you think you have the flu, or if you have flu-like symptoms—fever, cough, sneezing, chills, aches, and sometimes diarrhea or vomiting—stay home and avoid others as best you can. If your symptoms are severe or you are in a high-risk group, contact your own medical provider or the Student Health Center at 765-285-8431.
Prevention: Vigilant basic hygiene—frequent hand washing, covering your nose and mouth with a tissue when sneezing, staying home when sick—is key to help reduce the risk of contracting or spreading the flu. Learn more ways to reduce the spread of the flu and hand-washing tips.
