Flu Shots - Staying Healthy and Thriving

As college students, we often find ourselves engrossed in the whirlwind of academic pursuits, extracurricular activities, and social interactions. Amidst this hectic lifestyle, it's essential not to overlook the significance of maintaining good health. One vital aspect of safeguarding our well-being is by receiving an annual flu shot.

A college campus is an ideal breeding ground for the flu virus to spread rapidly. By getting vaccinated, you not only safeguard your own health but also contribute to the collective well-being of your peers, professors, and staff members.

The flu is notorious for its ability to incapacitate individuals, causing severe symptoms such as fever, cough, sore throat, body aches, and fatigue. For college students, falling ill with the flu can lead to missed classes, assignments, and exams, which can have a detrimental impact on academic progress.

According to Dr. Lee Cowen, physician at Florida Atlantic Student Health Services, “By getting vaccinated, you significantly reduce your chances of contracting the flu, and experiencing the disruption in your studies and activities.”
