Influenza is a contagious respiratory virus. Typical symptoms include fever, cough,
sore throat, stuffy or runny nose, muscle or body aches, headaches, fatigue and vomiting.
Symptoms can range from being mild to severe, and at times can be deadly.

For students, influenza can be costly in both time and money. The illness can last for
days or even weeks. Between doctor's visits, medicine and other supplies, one could spend
anywhere from $300 to $500 to treat it.

Do the math. Take a few minutes out of your day and get a free flu shot. All you need
to bring is a valid student ID. Act quickly as these flu shots will be limited in supply.
