Flu (Influenza) Shots

Annual flu shot campaign

Even healthy people can get the flu, and it can be serious. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends everyone 6 months and older get the flu vaccine every year, which includes protection against multiple strains. And while their own symptoms may be mild or nonexistent, college students may spread the flu to those at high risk of flu complications such as grandparents, younger siblings or those with health conditions like asthma or diabetes before they even know they are infected.
